Legislative changes and shifts in propensity to report affect comparability over time. The series covers reported offences, not confirmed offences.
Total reported offences per municipality, count and per 100,000 residents. Reported offences are not the same as committed or cleared offences; propensity to report and police activity affect the level. The municipal file covers all reported offences, not assault alone.

Brå's municipal indicator "Våld i offentlig miljö mot vuxna (anmälda brott)": reported offences of assault, including aggravated assault, committed outdoors in public places against people aged 18 or over (3 kap. 5, 6 § BrB Misshandel inkl. grov). The rates per 100,000 residents are Brå's own published figures.
Rank 1 = highest number of reported offences per 100,000 residents for this indicator. Only municipalities with a published value for the year are ranked; a missing value gets no rank. Equal values share a rank and the next municipality skips as many positions (1, 2, 2, 4). 290 of 290 municipalities are ranked for 2025. Sweden as a whole: 216 per 100,000 residents (Brå's own national figure, not a municipal average).
This is an order of reported offences, not of victimisation, safety or risk. Reporting propensity, police operations and local movement patterns — such as commuting, nightlife and events — affect the level.
