Obs:

For all regional divisions, the land area statistics contain smaller water surfaces, which are too small to appear in the input data for the statistics. These are watercourses that are narrower than 6 meters and water surfaces that are up to a few 10 square meters in size. Inland water includes lakes larger than some ten square metres and watercourses of a width of more than 6 meters. The four large lakes Vänern, Vättern, Mälaren, Hjälmaren are excluded. The four large lakes Vänern, Vättern, Mälaren, Hjälmaren have water areas in the following municipalities: Vänern: 1444 Grästorp, 1447 Gullspång, 1461 Mellerud, 1471 Götene, 1487 Vänersborg, 1492 Åmål, 1493 Mariestad, 1494 Lidköping, 1761 Hammarö, 1764 Grums, 1780 Karlstad, 1781 Kristinehamn, 1785 Säffle Vättern: 0509 Ödeshög, 0583 Motala, 0584 Vadstena, 0643 Habo, 0680 Jönköping, 1446 Karlsborg, 1497 Hjo, 1882 Askersund Mälaren: 0114 Upplands Väsby, 0123 Järfälla, 0125 Ekerö, 0126 Huddinge, 0127 Botkyrka, 0128 Salem, 0139 Upplands-Bro, 0140 Nykvarn, 0180 Stockholm, 0181 Södertälje, 0183 Sundbyberg, 0184 Solna, 0191 Sigtuna, 0305 Håbo, 0330 Knivsta, 0380 Uppsala, 0381 Enköping, 0484 Eskilstuna, 0486 Strängnäs, 1960 Kungsör, 1961 Hallstahammar, 1980 Västerås, 1983 Köping Hjälmaren: 0428 Vingåker, 0483 Katrineholm, 0484 Eskilstuna, 1880 Örebro, 1984 Arboga. Sea water up to the territorial border: The water area between the coastline and the territorial border. Land area is calculated as the total area minus the water area.
Data from Lantmäteriet (the Swedish mapping authority) with the scale 1:10 000 is used when calculating areas.
Areas have been calculated using a spherical method until 1 January 2024. From January 2025, the areas are calculated using the orthogonal (flat) method, in coordinate system SWEREF99 TM.
One hectare is 10 000 square metres, or 0.01 m2, that is, the area of a square measuring 100 m x 100 m. In March 2025 new versions of DeSO and RegSO (DeSO2025 and RegSO2025) were published. Statistics for previous years are not updated with the new divisions. Several revisions have been made to the new versions. Some changes are more comprehensive which means areas are not always comparable over time.
