In 2023, approximately 988,943 people lived in Stockholm, making it not only the capital, but also the biggest city in Sweden. The second biggest city, Gothenburg (Göteborg) had about half as many inhabitants, with about 596,840 people. Move to the citySweden is a country with a very high urbanization rate, the likes of which is usually only seen in countries with large uninhabitable areas, such as Australia, or in nations with very little rural landscape and agrarian structures, like Cuba. So why do so few Swedes live in rural areas, even though based on total area, the country is one of the largest in Europe? The total population figures are the answer to this question, as Sweden has only about 10.3 million inhabitants as of 2018 – that’s only 25 inhabitants per square kilometer. Rural exodus or just par for the course?It is no mystery why most Swedes flock to the cities: Jobs, of course. Over 65 percent of Sweden’s gross domestic product is generated by the services sector, and agriculture only contributes about one percent to the GDP. Employment mirrors this, with 80 percent of the workforce being deployed in services, namely in foreign trade, telecommunications, and manufacturing, among other industries.

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.

The share of urban population in Sweden saw no significant changes in 2023 in comparison to the previous year 2022 and remained at around 88.74 percent. Nevertheless, 2023 still represents a peak in the share in Sweden. A population may be defined as urban depending on the size (population or area) or population density of the village, town, or city. The urbanization rate then refers to the share of the total population who live in an urban setting. International comparisons may be inconsistent due to differing parameters for what constitutes an urban center.Find more key insights for the share of urban population in countries like Greenland and Faroe Islands.

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.

Starting in 1963 and with 10-year intervals, five population samples of men aged 50 and living in the city of Gothenborg, Sweden, were examined with respect to cardiovascular risk factors. In 1963, 973 men were invited. 855 of these took part in the study (88%). Clinical examinations were conducted at baseline and thereafter at 54 (1967), 60 (1973), 67 (1980), 75 (1988) and 80 years of age (1993). At every examination a number of questionnaires were filled in. For the 1973 study, 10% of all men born in 1923 were invited, providing a sample of 292, of which 226 (77%) participated. For the 1983 and 1993 studies, a random sample of half of all men in the city born in 1933 and 1943 were invited; 776 (76%) and 798 (55%), respectively, participated. In 2003 random third of all men (n =993) and women (n = 994) born in 1953 were invited. Participation rate was 60% among the men and 67% among the women. The study of men born in 1913 and their successors, men born in 1923, 1933, 1943 and 1953 provide opportunities to explore how living conditions have changed over four decades and what health effects these changes have had. From the start of the 60th century, the data have given opportunities to explore trends, as well as in cross-section as longitudinally. The studies have generated 12 thesis and more than 400 scientific papers. Purpose: To investigate coronary risk factors and the development of coronary disease in a group of Swedish urban men in the same age: 50 years. To the sampling in 2003 also women were invited.

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.

In this file, statistics are broken down by Malmö’s different areas over time. Source Unless otherwise stated, the statistics in this database are retrieved from Statistics Sweden’s (SCB) regional database, Skånedatabasen or from Statistics Sweden’s area statistics database (OSDB). The Skåne database and OSDB show data from several different sources that Statistics Sweden has compiled on a geographical level. The statistics only cover persons who are part of the population registered in the population. Therefore, persons without a residence permit, such as asylum seekers, and persons who simply have not registered in the municipality are not included. Statistics Sweden does not provide statistics on which language residents speak, which religion you belong to or what ethnicity or political views you have. Therefore, such data is not available here either. However, the Electoral Authority reports election results per constituency on its website val.se. There are statistics from the last election as well as several previous elections available. Please note, however, that the constituencies do not necessarily follow the division of the city made here. Update The data is updated every spring as Statistics Sweden releases the figures to the municipality. Most variables are available for the year before. However, income and employment data are released with another year’s backlog. Unless otherwise stated, the date of measurement is 31 December of each year. Geographical breakdown Unless otherwise stated, the data is available for Malmö as a whole and broken down into urban areas (5 pieces), districts (10 pieces) and subareas (136 pieces). In addition to these, there is a residual post that contains the people who are not written in a specific place in the municipality, have protected identity and more. These people are also part of the total. In several of the subareas there are no or only a few registered population registers. Therefore, no data are reported for these areas. Examples of such sub-areas are parks such as Pildammsparken and Kroksbäcksparken and industrial areas such as Fosieby Industriområde and Spillepengen. Privacy clearance In order to protect the identity of individuals, the data is confidentially audited. This means that small values are suppressed, i.e. replaced by empty cells. However, the values are included in summaries. In general, the following rules apply: * No statistics are reported for geographical areas with very few housing. * No cells with fewer than 5 individuals are reported. For data classified as sensitive (e.g. income and country of birth), larger values can also be suppressed. * In cases where a subcategory (e.g. a training category) is too small to be accounted for, all categories are often suppressed. Please use the numbers, but use “City Office, Malmö City” as the source.

The survey “Health on equal terms?” is a national survey, conducted every year since 2004. The Public Health Agency is responsible for the survey and Statistics Sweden (SCB) is responsible for the distribution, collection and registration. During the data collection in 2010, the City of Gothenburg ordered an additional sample for Gothenburg.

The additional sample in 2010 included all individuals aged 16-84 years living in Gothenburg. The questionnaire were answered by 3,014 individuals from the sample in Gothenburg, representing a response rate of 45 percent.

Including the national sample produced by Statistics Sweden (SCB), a total of 4,211 individuals participated from Västra Götaland County.

The questionnaire was printed in two versions. Addition to the national public health questionnaire, a similar questionnaire was conducted including the EQ-5D instrument. The questionnaire with the EQ-5D instrument was sent to the additional sample in Gothenburg. The questionnaire with the EQ-5D instrument consisted of 143 questions covering e.g. issues of health, lifestyle, economic conditions, work and employment, and security and social relations. In addition to data collected through the questionnaires, registry data were also included.

Purpose:

The aim of the national survey was to investigate the health in the population and to show changes in the population's health over time as a follow up of the national health politics. The aim of the additional sample in Gothenburg was to investigate the health in the population living in Gothenburg.

Starting in 1963 and with 10-year intervals, five population samples of men aged 50 and living in the city of Gothenborg, Sweden, were examined with respect to cardiovascular risk factors. In 1963, 973 men were invited. 855 of these took part in the study (88%).

Purpose: To investigate coronary risk factors and the development of coronary disease in a group of Swedish urban men in the same age: 50 years. To the sampling in 2003 also women were invited. Den epidemiologiska studien "1913 års män" påbörjades 1963. En tredjedel av alla manliga femtioåriga göteborgare kallades till en hälsoundersökning med fokus på hjärt-kärlhälsa. 973 män bjöds in, av dessa deltog 855 i studien (88%). Männen födda 1913 har undersökts när de var 50, 54, 60, 67, 75 och 80 år. Kliniska undersökningar har genomförts varje gång och vid varje undersökning har också ett antal enkäter ingått. Ett flertal variabler har undersökts genom åren, som BMI, rökvanor, kolesterol, motionsvanor, blodtryck etc. Vart tionde år har sedan studien fyllts på med nya femtioåringar, och sedan 2003 ingår även kvinnor i studien. I 1973 var 10% av alla män födda i 1923 inbjudna, varav 77% deltog (226 deltagare). I 1983 och 1993 blev ett slumpmässigt urval på hälften av alla män i Göteborg födda 1933 och 1943 inbjudna, 776 (76%) respektive 798 (55%) deltog. I 2003 var ett slumpmässigt urval på en tredjedel av alla kvinnor (n = 994) och män (n =993) i Göteborg födda 1953 inbjudna. Deltagarfrekvensen var 60% bland männen och 67% bland kvinnorna. Av de 855 män som ingick i studien från början överlevde 111 (13%) till 90 års ålder. 1913 års män och deras efterföljare, män födda 1923, 1933, 1943 och 1953 är ett exempel på våra traditionella göteborgsstudier. Dessa studier ger möjligheter att utforska hur levnadsbetingelserna har ändrats över fyra decennier och vilka hälsoeffekter dessa förändringar har haft. Från starten på 60-talet har dessa data gett möjligheter att undersöka trender, såväl som i tvärsnitt som longitudinellt. Studierna har resulterat i över 400 vetenskapliga artiklar och 12 avhandlingar. Syfte: Att undersöka koronara riskfaktorer och utveckling av kranskärlssjukdom i en grupp svenska urbana män i samma ålder: 50 år. Till undersökningen 2003 inviterades även 50-åriga kvinnor.
