Source and what the figures mean
Reports without a known municipality are excluded from municipal figures.
Sweden can include reports without a municipality assignment. Brå reports this missing coverage by police region, not as a missingness percentage for each municipality. The four categories must not be added together as total crime.
Solid line: municipality. Dashed line: Sweden. Missing observations leave gaps. Each chart has its own zero-based scale; exact counts and rates are in the table. The overview dots use the same zero-based scale for all four categories.
- Public-space violence against adults
- Specified outdoor assaults against adults and specified robberies, including shop robbery. Not all assault or violence.
- Residential burglary
- Burglary in dwellings, basements/attics and holiday homes.
- Vehicle theft offences
- Car theft and theft from motor vehicles. Not traffic offences or all vehicle damage.
- Vandalism
- Brå’s criminal-damage grouping, including graffiti and damage by fire.

Source and what the figures mean
The shaded band in the chart is a 95% confidence interval: the true value very probably lies within it. A difference from Sweden is called clear only when Sweden’s figure falls outside the municipality’s interval.
Brå produces the municipal figures with small-area estimation, which combines survey responses with register data to give more reliable estimates even where few responded. The method is used from NTU 2025 and back-cast to NTU 2017.
79 respondents in the municipality in NTU 2025.
