Method: "Born in Netherlands" refers to the country of birth recorded in the population register on 31 December, not citizenship or ethnicity. Municipal figures use the published total for both sexes. People born in Sweden to parents from Netherlands are not included. CKM disclosure control applies from 2025; protected components need not sum to published totals. Unavailable municipal cells are omitted, not treated as zero; rankings cover available observations. foreign background
The national series before 2025 is calculated from non-overlapping SCB age/sex cells; from 2025 published national totals are used. CKM changes the disclosure-control method in 2025. The municipal breakdown for years before 2025 is calculated in proportion to the national trend and is therefore derived, not directly published.
