Abstract: The aim of this study is to investigate rural gentrification as a migra-tion process in parts of the sparsely populated countryside. The aim is sought through an analysis of the socio-economic and demo-graphic composition of migration patterns using register data and employing different methods including logistic regression analysis. The particular time set of the analyses from the late 1980s until the early 1990s has been utilized as a way to understand the changing migration pattern of a changing economy; from boom to bust. The results show that rural gentrification is of marginal importance in the sparsely populated countryside of Sweden.
