Abstract: This article proposes a measurement of the citizenization demand population based on inflow population’s settlement willingness. We study the distribution evolution patterns of the citizenization demand population in county according to the fifth and sixth census data as well as the ESDA method. The results show that both the proportion of inflow population and the proportion of citizenization demand people in the east and west are higher than in the central, as well the regional differences are significant and have a strong economic directivity. Spatial distribution patterns of the citizenization demand population have a significant change from 2000 to 2010, and have significant differences among the east, the central and the west as well as the urban agglomerations.
