Rinkeby (Swedish pronunciation:[ˈrɪ̂ŋːkɛˌbyː]) is a district in the Rinkeby-Kista borough, Stockholm, Sweden.[1] Rinkeby had 19,349 inhabitants in 2016.[2] The neighbourhood was part of the Million Programme.
The Stockholm metro station Rinkeby was also opened in 1975.
Rinkeby is noted for its high concentration of immigrants and people with immigrant ancestry. 89.1% of the suburb's population had a first- or second-generation immigrant background as of 2007.[2]
A sociolect called Rinkeby Swedish has been named after Rinkeby. This is also said to be used all over the suburbs in Stockholm and across Sweden.[citation needed]
The district was a part of the Rinkeby borough until 1 January 2007, when it was merged with Kista borough to form the Rinkeby-Kista borough.
In the years preceding 2008, the state Social Insurance Agency, state Public Employment Service, banks and postal services vacated their offices in the area.[3]
In 2010, the official figures stated 15,000 people lived in the area, but officials admitted 17,000 were more likely though uncertainties meant the figure could be higher still. Of those, 90% had a migration background and 37.6% were from Africa.[4] With the area being home to a large number of immigrants, many from Somalia, the area is sometimes called 'Little Mogadishu'.[5]
In its December 2014 report, Swedish Police placed it as most severe category of urban areas with high crime rates.[6]
