Obs:

2010 Information about land area in total and outside of localities for 2010 and previously is based on calculations according to an older method and with other basic data, water in particular. The previous land area is thus larger than that for 2015, which must be considered in the comparisons. More information is available at www.scb.se/MI0802 2015 Changes have been made in the method and definition of localities, which affects the distribution of localities and the statistics on population, land area and population density. If comparisons are to be made between localities of 2015 and back in time, it is difficult to determine if the changes are due to actual changes in buildings or if they are due to the new method and definition. 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. Proportion of the population in urban areas, of the entire regions total population. Reported unit is percent. Heby municipality is included in Uppsala county from 2005 and forward.
