The understanding of migration flows is an important research area for various disciplines, such as infrastructure and transportation planning. Instead of statistical analyses of in- and out migrations of individual communities, this work uses complex network analyses to analyze the evolution of the internal migration network in 2012-2021 between association communities in the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The results show peculiarities in some years, which might be related to a high level of international migration.
