Stockholm is the capital and most populous city of Sweden and the most populous city of Scandinavia. With a history going back to the 13th century, Stockholm has long been the cultural, economic, and political center of the region. Stockholm is located across 14 islands on the coast southeast of Sweden at the mouth of Lake Malaren. As of 2018, Stockholm has an estimated population of 935,000.
The population of Stockholm is estimated at 910,000 in 2016 with a population density of 4,800 people per square kilometer, or 13,000 per square mile. The Stockholm metropolitan area has 26 municipalities with a population of more than 2.2 million, while the Stockholm urban area has an estimated population of 1.4 million. The following are major municipalities in Metropolitan Stockholm:
Stockholm accounts for 22% of Sweden''s total population. The region considered Stockholm has changed over time. At the end of the 1800s, Stockholm was only what is today the City Centre, about 14 square miles of land and one-fifth of the current area. Now, the city proper encompasses 188 km² (73 sq mi) while the metro area sprawls outward to 6,519 km² (2,517 sq mi).
About 27% of Stockholmers are immigrants or of non-Swedish background. About 15% of the city is foreign-born, which is the highest of any Nordic city. Many immigrants are concentrated in the city''s suburbs, with a wide variety of languages spoken in Greater Stockholm, including: Swedish, Finnish, English, Bosnian, Arabic, Syriac, Kurdish, Persian, Dutch, Turkish, Spanish, Croation and Serbian. The largest foreign-born groups are Finns (18,000), Iraqis (16,400), Iranian (11,600).
Over the last few years, there have been clashes between native-born residents and newly arrived immigrants. In 2013, the city was in flames after hundreds of immigrant youths rioted for four nights. The unrest and rioting has been especially high in immigrant neighborhoods like the Husby suburb, and many say Sweden is failing to effectively integrate its huge and growing immigrant population.
Its estimated that Stockholm will hit a population of 3 million by 2045, largely due to migrants from Afghanistan and Syria. If a study conducted by Stockholm Regional Growth, Environment and Planning is right, the growth means Stockholm will need an additional 2,000 preschools within a decade, as well as more housing.
The Stockholm municipality itself should grow to one million by 2019, six years earlier than a study from 2011 had predicted. This growth is attributed to immigration exclusively.

Sweden’s population increased by 1 600 inhabitants in the first half of 2024. This is the smallest population increase measured during the first six months of the year in the 2000s. On 30 June 2024, 10 553 300 people were registered in Sweden.
The population of all municipalities in Stockholm county according to official estimates.
The population of all urban areas and settlements (tätorter) in Stockholm county with 200 inhabitants or more according to official estimates.
The largest growth in the number of people is expected in Stockholm County, the most populated county, which is projected to increase by 257 000. Uppsala County is projected to increase most in percentage terms, by 14.4 percent.
Other counties in which the population is projected to increase in percentage terms are Halland, Stockholm, Kronoberg, Skåne, Gotland, Jönköping, and Örebro. The population is projected to decline in two counties, Västernorrland and Norrbotten. The population is projected to grow in all other counties, although at a lower rate than at the national level.
International migration, a higher rate of immigration than emigration, contributes to the largest part of the projected population increase in all counties except Stockholm, Uppsala, and Gotland. In Stockholm County, the population growth is projected to mainly result from more births than deaths. In Uppsala County and Gotland County, domestic migration is projected to be the major contributor, that is, more people will move in than out from other counties.
Västernorrland County and Norrbotten County, the two counties in which the population is projected to decline, experienced a population increase in the 2010s, solely due to international migration. A positive international migration is projected to continue in both counties, albeit at a slower rate than before and this will not balance the negative domestic net migration and more deaths than births.
There are major differences in population growth in various municipalities. These are, in part, due to the current age structure and migration in each municipality. Among Sweden''s 290 municipalities, the population is projected to increase in 142 municipalities and decrease in 84 of them. In 64 municipalities, the population is projected to remain largely unchanged.
To describe the progress at municipal level, municipalities have been classified into nine municipal groups, according to the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions classification. The population in the municipality groups large cities, commuting municipalities near large cities, and medium-sized towns is projected to increase by almost 11 percent by 2030. This means that 63 percent of Sweden''s population is projected to live in one of these municipality types by then, which is two percentage points more than in 2019. Rural municipalities is the only municipality group in which the population is projected to decline, and will be 5.2 percent less than in 2019.
Calculations on the projected number of births, deaths, and on migration numbers are based on the assumption that observed trends will continue. Municipalities'' own plans or goals, such as housing construction, are not taken into account in the calculations.
The regional projections are based on historical data and are in accordance with the national projection. Statistics on the population are published in the Statistical Database: births, deaths, domestic immigration and emigration, immigrants and emigrants, by age and sex for each year in the period 2020-2070. Trends in counties and municipality groups up to 2030 are described in a Statistical Report.
Statistics Sweden''s regional population projections provide an important basis for planning in areas such as municipal and central government activities. Private operators also use the regional population projections in their planning. These statistics have been popular, and now, for the first time, population projections for all counties and municipalities in Sweden are being published and made available to everyone on Statistics Sweden''s website.

Stockholm County (Swedish: Stockholms län [ˈstɔ̂kː(h)ɔlms ˈlɛːn]) is a county (Swedish: län) on the Baltic Sea coast of Sweden. It borders Uppsala County and Södermanland County. It also borders Mälaren and the Baltic Sea. The city of Stockholm is the capital of Sweden. Stockholm County is divided by the historic provinces of Uppland (Roslagen) and Södermanland (Södertörn). More than one fifth of the Swedish population lives in the county. Stockholm County is also one of the statistical riksområden (national areas) according to NUTS:SE, Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics within the EU. With more than two million inhabitants, Stockholm is the most densely populated county of Sweden.
Stockholm County was established in 1714. The City of Stockholm then constituted its own administrative entity under the Governor of Stockholm and was not part of Stockholm County. Though outside Stockholm County, the City of Stockholm was its seat.
On 1 January 1968, Stockholm County was united with the City of Stockholm. At the same time, the borders were redrawn in other directions too; Upplands-Bro Municipality was transferred from Uppsala County and a large part of the modern day Östhammar Municipality was transferred to Uppsala County.
The Gross domestic product (GDP) of the region was 145.6 billion € in 2018, accounting for 30.9% of Swedish economic output. GDP per capita adjusted for purchasing power was 49,500 € or 164% of the EU27 average in the same year. The GDP per employee was 132% of the EU average.[3]
