This map shows the relative change in population potential for the Nordic and Baltic States for three periods, 2006-2010, 2010-2016 and 2006-2016. Population potential is defined as the number of people that can be reached within 50 km airline distance from the centre coordinate of any grid cell. The resulting numbers have then been standardized at the study area average, i.e. an indicator value of 100 represents the study area average. All of the growth poles which are areas with high population potentials have experienced significant population gains over the last decade, except for Riga (Latvia) and for Lithuania as a whole which dramatically lost population potentials. The three Baltic States have all experienced a tremendous volume of out-migration, particularly in the second half of the last decade. This is likely a consequence of the financial crisis. These areas lost up to 45 percent of their population potential.
