Stockholm is the Capital of Sweden and in 2023, close to 985,000 people lived in the municipality. Since 2010, the population there has been growing consistently. While more people are moving to Stockholm, the city area is not growing at the same speed, leading the population density to increase as well. Forecasts for the city expect continuous growth of population over the next forty years.

Economy

In Stockholm, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita was around 734,000 Swedish kronor in 2021. That was much higher than the average GDP per capita in all of Sweden with around 517,000 SEK in 2021. Though it must be noted that living costs are very high in the city and have been increasing in the last years. For example, the average rent per square meter in Stockholm has been rising every single year.

Employment A high majority of people living in Stockholm have a workplace. The employment rate in Stockholm is at 73.6 percent as of 2021.  The sector with the highest number of employees in Stockholm is professional, scientific, technical, and administrative activities, followed by wholesale and retail trade.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the data for the Stockholm, WI population pyramid, which represents the Stockholm population distribution across age and gender, using estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates. It lists the male and female population for each age group, along with the total population for those age groups. Higher numbers at the bottom of the table suggest population growth, whereas higher numbers at the top indicate declining birth rates. Furthermore, the dataset can be utilized to understand the youth dependency ratio, old-age dependency ratio, total dependency ratio, and potential support ratio.

Key observations

• Youth dependency ratio, which is the number of children aged 0-14 per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Stockholm, WI, is 0.0.
• Old-age dependency ratio, which is the number of persons aged 65 or over per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Stockholm, WI, is 164.5.
• Total dependency ratio for Stockholm, WI is 164.5.

Of the total population in Sweden of 10.55 million people, around half resided in the counties Stockholm, Västra Götaland or Skåne. This is also the three counties where the three largest cities in Sweden, Stockholm, Göteborg, and Malmö, are located. In the capital region Stockholm county, there lived nearly 2.5 million inhabitants in 2023. Västra Götaland county had close to 1.8 million inhabitants, while Skåne county, the southernmost region, had roughly 1.4 million inhabitants. The island Gotland had the lowest number of inhabitants with only 60,000.

The highest population density

Stockholm, Skåne and Västra Götaland were also the three counties in Sweden with the highest population density. In 2022, 374.6 inhabitants per square kilometer lived in Stockholm county, while the corresponding figures for Skåne and Västra Götaland were 129 and 73.9, respectively.

The highest rents

Unsurprisingly. Stockholm county is the county in Sweden with the highest rents for rented dwellings, with average prices for one square meter amounting to over 1,400 Swedish kronor in 2022. The lowest average renting prices were in the northwestern region Jämtland, one square meter costing 1,000 Swedish kronor.

Until 2070, the growth of the Swedish-born population in the City of Stockholm is estimated to remain relatively stable, while that of foreign-born citizens is forecast to slow somewhat. By 2070, the Swedish capital is expected to have a total of 1.35 million inhabitants, of which 953,000 were born in Sweden and 406,000 born abroad.

People born in Syria made up the largest group of Sweden's foreign-born population in 2023. Nearly 200,000 people born in Syria lived in Sweden as of 2023. Iraqi made up the second largest group of foreign-born citizens, followed by Sweden's neighboring country Finland. The total number of foreign-born citizens living in the Scandinavian country increased over the past 10 years.

Migration contributes to population growth

Sweden's positive net migration rate meant that it's population increased steadily since 2000. In 2022, over 100,000 people immigrated to Sweden, which was still significantly lower than the record year 2016.

Syrians fleeing civil war

The record number of refugees arriving in 2016 was driven by Syrians fleeing the Civil War in the country. Following the Arab spring and protests for democracy in 2011, fighting broke out between the Syrian national army and several armed factions. Several million people fled the country as a result, some of them seeking refuge in Sweden.

This data collection contains information about total population and total number of professionally employed within the principal occupational groups agriculture, industry, commerce, government services and unspecified occupation.

The Swedish capital Stockholm has the largest population of the five Nordic capitals with 2.46 million inhabitants. This is unsurprising as Sweden also is the Nordic country with the largest population. The capital area of Copenhagen is slightly larger than that of Helsinki, whereas Iceland's capital Reykjavik had the smallest population with 244,000 inhabitants. Oslo's rapid population decline in 2024 is explained by only the numbers for Oslo municipality being reported.
