Abstract
Mid‐Wales has experienced considerable fluctuation in its intercensal population change over many decades. Having undergone a protracted period of depopulation, mainly connected with industrial restructuring in various sectors and the general process of urbanisation, its population levels started to rise in the 1960s and 1970s. A significant part of this growth is attributed to a change in the direction of migration, with people moving into rather than out of the area, although analysis of aggregate movements has often obscured differential patterns at the settlement scale. Using empirical information from quantitative surveys of some 260 households and 690 individuals separated by a five‐year time interval within the area, this paper explores issues relating to people's migration history and to attitudinal differences between indigenous and outsider households. In particular it looks at the geographical range of migratory circulation within the Mid‐Wales region, and whether population changes at the community scale are connected with this circulatory process or with the arrival of people from outside.
