Memleket Atlası: Where people in Turkey are from—and where they live
An interactive atlas maps where Turkish citizens are registered by hometown and where they live, alongside province-to-province migration flows from 2008 to 2025.

- People exploring hometown ties and domestic migration
- Worth noticing
- The counterfactual ranks Ardahan at +514.8% and Istanbul at −82.8% if residents moved to their registered province.
Field notes
Users can select a province (and, according to the page, a district) to compare where residents are registered with where they live; a separate map animates interprovincial moves, with line width and moving dots scaled to flow size. The 2025 “everyone returns” table is a counterfactual calculated from registered and resident population differences, not a forecast. The figures are calculated from TÜİK’s ADNKS data and cover Turkish citizens; foreign residents are excluded.
