The state of Tocantins currently consists of 139 municipalities that differ in demographic size, which varies according to natural growth and migration. Process leading to the redistribution of population over the territory. Therefore, the objective is to analyze the inter-municipal migratory movements that took place in Tocantins between 1991 and 2010. The migration data were obtained from the Brazilian Instituto Brasileiro from Geografia and Estatística – IBGE, and extracted using SPSS statistical software.
