Migration to and from Tatarstan: people from which regions inhabit the republic

Natives of Bashkiria most often move to Tatarstan

Out of 4,004,809 residents of Tatarstan, 3,377,063 indicated that they were born in the republic in the census forms. This is 32% of the population of the region.

The rest of the population of Tatarstan is those who moved there from other regions of Russia. The republic enjoys particular popularity among natives of neighbouring subjects with whom it is part of the Volga Federal District.

Bashkiria natives are the first by a large margin from other regions of the Volga Federal District — there are almost 45,5 thousand of them in Tatarstan. For comparison, 17,449 were born in the Republic of Tatarstan and moved to Bashkortostan, that is, almost three times less. Out of the regions of the Volga Federal District, the least number of newcomers to Tatarstan are from Penza Oblast — 2,130.

Realnoe Vremya collected a rating of the regions of the Volga Federal District, whose natives settled in Tatarstan:

1. Bashkortostan — 45,477;
2. Udmurtia — 17,807;
3. Chuvashia — 14,457;

If we exclude the regions of the Volga Federal District, then the subjects of the Ural Federal District will become the leaders among the regions of Russia in terms of the number of natives who moved to Tatarstan. We are talking about three regions at once — Sverdlovsk Oblast, Chelyabinsk Oblast, and Tyumen Oblast.

People born in Orel Oblast (353), Khakassia (168), Adygea (144), Sevastopol (143), Chukotka Autonomous Okrug (102), Jewish Autonomous Oblast (125), and Ingushetia (77) are the least living in Tatarstan. At least 23 people who moved to the republic were born in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug.
