People live in cities!
The 41 largest "tätorter" (urban areas) have a combined population of 5314299 people (2024), which is over 50% of Sweden's entire population.

This…. This hurts my eyes

Sweden doesn’t have suburbia, just dense cities
Why are people always surprised that cities have a smaller footprint but larger population than mountains and forests
B.C. is sort of like that. Population of the province is ~5.7m, and the population of the greater metro area of Vancouver is ~2.6m.
I’m guessing due to the bone chilling cold in the north
Only 11 million people and so much space, I am so jealous! (Netherlands, we have 18+ million and our country is ten times smaller)
I didn’t expect any of the cities in Norrland to be highlighted, definitely not Östersund which is significantly smaller than the other cities in Norrland.
Same for Canada.
Unbelievable, OP found out about Cities
I love how the red areas are random dots spread evenly over Sweden. The point here is that Swedens population is probably spread more than most countries.
Makes sense for a country crossed by the Arctic circle
Sweden is such a beautiful country, so many wonderful landscapes and forests!
It’s not about “popularity”, it’s where the jobs are.
And the red area would be the complete population of neighboring country Norway.

would have been impressive if it were one city, but this is literally like 30 biggest cities in Sweden, of course they’re going to be well populated
Wow, people in in cities and not farmland, forests, or fields??? 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
