The Origin-Destination statistics: Local authorities contains data for the flows of migrants and the daily flows of workers from residence to workplace, provided as matrices, for all local authorities of origin to all local authorities of destination. There are counts of every area to area flow in the UK (each cell in the matrix), with breakdowns of the characteristics of the people in the flow.
