Obs:

Localities situated in more than one municipality or county, will be registrated with the municipality or county where the main part of the locality is situated. Locality references The localities that Lantmäteriet presents in the basic geodata and on general maps can sometimes differ from Statistics Sweden´s locality boundaries. Statistics Sweden´s localities are intended to be a basis for statistics, while the purpose of Lantmäteriet´s locality boundaries is to provide a basis for maps in different scales. Therefore the names that are presented in Statistics Sweden´s statistics should not be regarded as established names of localities, but as references that are representative for the marked areas, that is, a locality of Statistics Sweden. The basis for the reference is the map material from Lantmäteriet. In 2017, several locality references have been changed according to decisions of Lantmäteriet. Locality
Since 1960 Statistics Sweden has defined areas with continuous buildings and a population of at least 200 inhabitants. Localities thus include everything from the largest cities to small areas with only 200 inhabitants. Statistics Sweden does not have its own definition of sparsely populated areas or countryside areas. Population Information about the population is based on the Total Population Register. It includes information about registered persons per property on 31 December of the current year. As of 2018, population in urban areas is calculated using data linked to addresses. Two dots (..) mean that value is missing since the area is not classified as a statistical locality at the time. Locality reference year refers to the time of the geographical distribution of the locality. Year refers to the time of the population registered. Dates are 31 December each year.

Locality 2015

Statistics relating to 2015 and 2018 show some smaller differences compared to other tables of population within localities. The difference is due to different methods for handling people who do not have information about cadastral parcel in the population register. Today, a method is used where persons without a registered address or cadastral parcel are placed at the center coordinate for the largest locality per municipality.
