What the data covers

  • Country of birth: 2000–2120 — observed through 2025, SCB projection 2026 onwards.
  • Swedish/foreign background: 2002–2025 — observed only. SCB publishes no projection for this definition, and we do not construct one.

Age axis: SCB's single-year classes 0–99 plus 100+. Ages 100–105+ in the projection are summed into 100+ for a common axis. No value is interpolated, extrapolated or modelled.
