Harmonised data that follows the INSPIRE Directive, with grids adapted to the European reference system ETRS89, can be retrieved through the downloading service at the Geodata Portal. There are additional formats here with simpler sets of variables and grids adapted to the national reference system SWEREF99TM.

The source of the statistics is Statistics Sweden’s Total Population Register, which is updated annually. Coordinates can be retrieved from Lantmäteriet.
