An urban area or tätort (lit.'dense locality') in Sweden has a minimum of 200 inhabitants and may be a city, town or larger village.[1] It is a purely statistical concept, not defined by any municipal or county boundaries.[2][3] Larger urban areas synonymous with cities or towns (Swedish: stad for both terms) for statistical purposes have a minimum of 10,000 inhabitants.[4] The same statistical definition is also used for urban areas in the other Nordic countries.
In 2018, there were nearly two thousand urban areas in Sweden, which were inhabited by 87% of the Swedish population.[5]
Urban area is a common English translation of the Swedish term tätort. The official term in English used by Statistics Sweden is, however, "locality" (Swedish: ort). It could be compared with "census-designated places" in the United States.
