Swedish open data, collected for everyone.

Sweden has plenty of open data, but it is scattered across a multitude of agencies and sources. We gather the sources, process them into our own measures and datasets and put them in the map, sortable and filterable on what matters to you. That makes it easier to evaluate, scrutinise and compare Swedish places, whatever the question, with a picture of the whole of Sweden instead of piles of loose registers. Data is for everyone.

No accounts, no tracking, no cookies. Everything you do is stored locally in your browser only.

why we exist

Six things we try to do with open data.

moving

The right area first, the property second.

We do not try to pair you with a specific home. The goal is to match you with a place. Find the area that meets your requirements, so you do not overpay for qualities you were not looking for. From all the data we process we continuously build a profile for every place in Sweden, so the choice rests on details instead of gut feeling.

Use pin mode, the filters and the map options to pinpoint the area exactly, and continue from there to Hemnet, or to a broker partner who specialises in that very area. We reverse the order: area first, property second. We also connect you with brokers, contractors, contact persons, businesses and associations in the locality, so you become part of your new home town rather than just living there.

looking for premises

A place to set up shop.

We process data and produce forecasts of which sectors are in short supply and where the gaps are. Places where an establishment makes a difference and meets real demand.

If you already know what you want to establish, or are looking for empty premises, properties and large sites for new industry, we help with the practical side: power, contracting and land. Small businesses count as much as large companies. We want to see manufacturing return to Sweden, on better terms for workers and with better materials.

continue
access to data

The data, available to everyone.

The goal is the broadest possible base, and data that is easy to visualise, share, save and understand. The data already exists and it belongs to everyone in Sweden.

We want to be the step between scattered datasets and the Swedish public, and distribute them as smoothly as possible.

continue
urban planning

Decision support for planning.

We want to be decision support for urban planning, visions of the future and ideas. Material you can point to at an early stage.

By digitising old detailed development plans and regulations, developers can sort properties faster and see what the land actually allows.

continue
living countryside

Life in places outside the limelight.

We want to drive ruralisation anew and bring light, life and engagement to municipalities, towns, localities and villages that otherwise never get a chance in the limelight.

We do this through cooperation with smaller municipalities and localities, and by drawing attention to the fine heritage we have in Sweden. As more people can work remotely, the conditions are in place. This is a popular movement to keep the countryside alive.

continue
domestic tourism

Discover Sweden instead.

Meet the climate crisis by skipping the flight to the Mediterranean and discovering Sweden instead. Nature, climate and views vary more here than you would think, and no long distances are needed for a whole new perspective.

Through our partners there are offers on stays in localities that want to show themselves off. Make ties, put down roots. Supporting other Swedes who dare to invest creates a virtuous circle that gives back in well-being, economy and community.

explore the map features

The map is more than a map.

pin mode
Plan your whole everyday life in the map

Drop pins for home, work, school, training and the shop. The map works out how everyday life actually fits together, in travel time and distance, before you decide.

suggestions
Send suggestions to the municipality

Mark what is missing at a place, or an idea you had along the way, and submit it as a suggestion with a coordinate and a rationale.

measure and section
See what the ground looks like beneath you

Measure distance and elevation difference, and draw a cross-section through the ground. Slope, bedrock, soil type and groundwater in the same cut.

delimit
Draw an area and analyse it

Draw a boundary wherever you like and get a profile for exactly that area, instead of for the whole municipality. Can be saved and shared.

query builder
Advanced filters

Combine layers with conditions: near a lake and under a certain plot price and within ten minutes of a school. The query can be saved and rerun.

fun layers
The ice age and other time layers

When did the ground you live on become ice-free? Overlay the retreat of the inland ice, old shorelines and historical maps.

sun and view
Analyse sunshine hours and visibility

Sunshine hours across the day and the year for a plot, with shadow from terrain, forest and buildings. Sightlines show what view the location actually gives.

historical weather
Compare places on historical weather

Temperature, sunshine hours, precipitation, wind and snow cover as measurement series decades back, together with past floods and cloudbursts. See what a normal year looks like at the place, not just what this week's forecast says.

care, school, work
Compare healthcare, schools and job opportunities

Health centres, waiting times and travel time to hospital. School units, merit values, qualified teachers and walking distance. Workplaces per sector, vacancies and how many commute in or out. Three places side by side in the same table.

risk analysis
Risk analysis for the place

Extreme weather, cloudbursts and flooding, landslides, forest fire risk, radon, the nearest shelter and its capacity, plus what building permits and regulations allow. A summary per address, with source and date for every item.

games and trivia
Play geography games

Guess the locality from its silhouette, place the municipality on the map, rank places by population or sunshine hours. The questions are built from the same layers as the rest of the site, so what you learn is true.

new in sweden
Find your way as a visitor or newcomer

Collected information for tourists, labour migrants and asylum seekers: which authorities do what, where they are, which rules and rights apply at the place, SFI and language support, healthcare, public transport and associations that welcome newcomers. With source and date, like the rest of the site.

terrain in 3d
Want mountains nearby?

Sort places by elevation, slope and proximity to mountains and fells. In the 3D map you see how the terrain actually lies, with trees modelled from real tree data instead of filler.

distance and neighbours
What would you rather avoid?

Set a minimum distance to water, high-voltage lines, railways, busy tracks and major roads. Also choose how many neighbours you want within sight and how close the nearest may be. The map dims everything that fails your limits.

farm and growing
Dreaming of a farm or homestead?

Soil type, drainage, growing season, sunshine hours, water supply and pasture, together with plot size, outbuildings and distance to feed and vet. The map shows where the conditions actually exist.

municipal finances
How has the municipality managed its finances?

Results, debt, solvency and tax rate for all 290 municipalities, and how they weathered the crises of 2008, 2020 and 2023. Sort, filter and follow the time series before you choose a place.

electric car
How convenient is an electric car here?

Chargers within reach, electricity price in the area, the option of your own charging box in the type of housing, winter cold and the distances you actually drive. The tool answers per place, not per car model.

commuting
Commuting options

Travel times by car, bus and train from a point, drawn as time rings. See what lies within thirty minutes, not within thirty kilometres.

education
Education options

Schools, programmes, folk high schools and colleges within reach, with results, distance and travel time from the place you are looking at.

the layers

One layer at a time,
the whole country at once.

442 layers in the map

One layer per question: schools, health centres, shoreline protection, soil types, election results, travel times. Every layer has its source and date in the map.

The camera travels from Kiruna down to Ystad while the layers change: population, house prices, commuting, nature. The same data that sits in the map, only slower.
