Last year, 558,997 people moved into Gyeonggi Province… More than Seoul and Incheon
It is estimated that the flow mainly flows from Seoul to Gyeonggi-do… Gyeonggi-do population: 13.69 million
The region with the largest number of people moving in last year was Gyeonggi-do. Gyeonggi-do’s registered resident population reached close to 13.7 million last year, accounting for about 27% of the entire registered resident population in Korea.
According to the results of the 2024 resident registration demographic analysis recently announced by the Ministry of Public Administration and Security on the 10th, the number of registered residents last year was 6,294,948.
This is an increase of 2.51% (154,063 people) compared to the previous year (6,140,885 people), and it is the first time in 4 years since 2020 that regional population movement has increased.
By province, the number of registered residents who moved to Gyeonggi Province was 558,997, the largest among the 17 cities and provinces nationwide.
followed by Seoul (429,614 people) in second place and Incheon (156,000 people) in third place. This means that a large number of people have mainly moved to the metropolitan area.
However, in Seoul, the number of people moving out (474,570 people) was greater than the population moving in (429,614 people), resulting in a net outflow of 44,956 people. Net outflow of population refers to a case where there are more people moving out than moving in.
In addition, net population outflow occurred in 12 other places, including Busan (-13,656 people), Gyeongnam (-9,109 people), Gyeongbuk (-8,008 people), and Gwangju (-7,961 people).
On the other hand, Gyeonggi-do had more people moving in than moving out, resulting in a net inflow of 64,318 people last year. Incheon (25,689 people), South Chungcheong (14,714 people), North Chungcheong (3,255 people), and Sejong (2,823 people) were also found to be regions with a net inflow of population along with Gyeonggi-do.
It is believed that a significant portion of the population who moved to Gyeonggi-do are residents of Seoul. Looking at the population movement status last year, among the people who moved to Gyeonggi-do, those from Seoul accounted for the largest number at 63,096, followed by Busan (3,576) and Gyeongnam (2,884).
It is interpreted that they moved to Gyeonggi-do, where many urban development areas such as Hanam and Namyangju are concentrated, as they could not afford the high housing prices in Seoul, or left Seoul for reasons such as education or work.
Looking at the population increase and decrease status, which takes into account not only social factors such as moving in and moving out, but also natural factors such as birth and death, Seoul showed a decrease of 54,206 people compared to the previous year, while Gyeonggi-do showed an increase of 63,864 people compared to the previous year.
Last year, the population of Gyeonggi-do was 13.69 million, accounting for about 26.7% of the total registered resident population (51,217,221). More than one in five people in South Korea lives in Gyeonggi-do.
Gyeonggi-do’s population recorded 10.2 million in 2004, surpassing Seoul’s population (10.17 million at the time) for the first time. For the next 20 years, it has surpassed Seoul and maintained its position as the most populous region in Korea.
Meanwhile, last year, people in their 20s were found to have the largest population movement between cities and provinces at 668,692 (30.68%). Next were those in their 30s (20.72%), 40s (12.26%), teenagers or younger (12.07%), 50s (10.93%), 60s (8.25%), and 70s or older (5.09%).
