Accessibility

What works

• The site is built for keyboard navigation; spot checks show visible focus and a skip-to-content link, but not every page has been tested.
• Focus indicators are visible on links, buttons and form controls.
• The heading hierarchy is semantic (one h1 per page, followed by h2/h3).
• All icon buttons have an aria-label.
• The colour palette uses shared design tokens; contrast has not been systematically measured on every page.
• The dark-mode setting is retained between browser sessions (localStorage plus a functional cookie without an identifier).
• Interactive charts have an alternative text description or a downloadable CSV file.
• Maps can be read as a list through the municipality search /municipality.

Known limitations

• Some complex charts (such as sparklines and dual-axis time series) lack a complete text alternative; a downloadable CSV file is available instead.
• The map (/map) is primarily visual. Equivalent data is available as lists on municipality pages.
• Some historical PDF reports we link to (from Statistics Sweden, Brå, ESO and others) do not always meet WCAG. We cannot control external documents.

How we test

• Spot keyboard checks of individual pages.
• Automated axe checks are run on selected pages during review rounds; they do not currently block publishing automatically.
• Contrast checks against design tokens (--foreground, --muted-foreground and others).
