Abstract: This paper is intended to elucidate the efficacy of employing a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) methodology to investigate the spatial interrelations among migration flows, housing prices, age demographics, and geographical distances. Utilizing data on migration flows and housing prices from Greater Manchester, UK, in 2011, in this study, we performed statistical analyses and generated a suite of visual mappings to illustrate the spatial dynamics between migration patterns, distances, age brackets, and the segmentation of migration destinations by housing price tiers. The findings reveal pronounced spatial associations among migration destinations, underscored by the interplay of housing price levels with age categories, distance intervals, or the origination points tied to specific housing price ranges. This GIS-based analytical framework offers policy-makers and urban planners a powerful tool for discerning distinct migration trends and locales, thereby facilitating more informed decision-making processes.
