About the tool
Compare municipalities — method, units and sources
Choose up to four municipalities and see them side by side on the same indicator, the same year and the same unit. The national mean is shown as a reference. Shareable URL — the recipient opens the same comparison.
Method & limitations
- All compared municipalities are shown for the same year per indicator. Where an indicator is missing '—' is displayed.
- Units are fixed per row (percent, SEK, count per 1,000). Rows never mix units within the same column.
- The national mean is the source's own national row (SCB / Kolada / Migrationsverket) — not an average of municipalities.
- Ranking or best/worst colours are only used where the indicator has a clear direction (e.g. upper-secondary eligibility, higher is better).
- Net cost is a model estimate: Ruist's 74,000 SEK/year × arrivals 2020–2024 / population. Not official municipal accounts.
- The clear button resets selections. URL parameters make the comparison shareable.

Definitions
How the numbers are counted — and what they do not cover
- Per capita / per 1,000 / per 100,000
- Normalising an absolute number by population size, so municipalities of different sizes can be compared. Shootings, for example, are usually reported per 100,000 inhabitants.
- Median vs mean
- The median is the middle value in a sorted series. The mean is the sum divided by the count and is much more sensitive to outliers. Incomes and wealth are therefore usually reported as medians.
- Ranking & percentile
- The ranking is the municipality's place in the sorted list of all 290 municipalities. The percentile is the share below the municipality — rank 29 of 290 ≈ the 90th percentile.Ties use shared ranking (e.g. two municipalities both at rank 10).
Frequently asked questions
Short answers to what is most often discussed
No — we cap at four. Beyond that the table becomes hard to read on mobile and colour coding loses its meaning. Use /en/comparisons for county-vs-county perspectives.
