Zeit has published an interactive map which shows which areas inwards Europe are becoming to a greater extent than pop as well as which areas people are leaving. Zeit's The Commuter Belt Effect map visualizes population increase as well as loss from 2011-2017.
The orange/red areas on Zeit's maps are the areas which convey seen a increase inwards population over the concluding half dozen years. The bluish areas convey seen a autumn inwards their population during the same period.
