Good to know
- The lists below only count people born in Myanmar (Burma). Where people born in Sweden with parents from Myanmar (Burma) live is not available in Statistics Sweden's open data, only how many there are in the whole country. The real group in a municipality is therefore usually larger than the figures show.
- A large number in a municipality does not mean there are associations, shops or other services for the group there. We have no data on that.
- These are sorted lists, not grades. A large or small number is neither good nor bad.
- Source: Statistics Sweden (SCB). The municipality figures are from 2024 and the national table from 2025. Shares and rankings are Kommunlotsen's own calculations. The national figures are rounded by Statistics Sweden.
