The safety index is based on reported crime per DeSO area (2024–2025 average), measured against how many people actually spend time there: residents, one third of the daytime population and an estimate of visitors based on the number of nearby restaurants and bars. This gives city centres and nightlife areas, where many people spend time but few live, a fairer figure. The index measures reported crime — not how safe people feel, and not the police assessment of vulnerable areas.
Broadly, yes. At municipality level the score tracks the share of residents who feel safe outdoors after dark in the Kolada citizen survey (correlation 0.61, 244 municipalities).
Among areas with at least 2,000 residents, Tofta-Stenhammar-Sjölunda in Lidköping is the safest, with a safety index of 100 out of 100. It is followed by Lunden Danska vägen (Göteborg) and Mangskog-Brunskog (Arvika).
Gagnef has the highest safety index of Sweden's municipalities (87 out of 100, population-weighted average of its areas). Among municipalities with over 20,000 residents, Falun is the safest.
Among municipalities with over 100,000 residents, Umeå is the safest (72 out of 100), followed by Uppsala and Linköping.
