Demographics

This is a demographic table based on Lindesberg Municipality's electoral districts in the 2022 Swedish general election sourced from SVT's election platform, in turn taken from SCB official statistics.[18]

Residents include everyone registered as living in the district, regardless of age or citizenship status.[18] Valid voters indicate Swedish citizens above the age of 18 who therefore can vote in general elections.[18] Left vote and right vote indicate the result between the two major blocs in said district in the 2022 general election. Employment indicates the share of people between the ages of 20 and 64 who are working taxpayers.[18] Foreign background is defined as residents either born abroad or with two parents born outside of Sweden.[18] Median income is the received monthly income through either employment, capital gains or social grants for the median adult above 20, also including pensioners in Swedish kronor.[18] The section about college graduates indicates any degree accumulated after high school.[18]

In total there were 23,563 residents with 18,038 Swedish citizen adults eligible to vote.[18] The political demographics were 44.5% for the left bloc and 53.7% for the right bloc.[18] The northeastern part of Lindesberg has a majority of non-Swedish background. It also has the lowest median income and the lowest levels of employment, while the wealthiest district of Linde encircling the town has the highest share of Swedish background in the municipality.[18] The town of Lindesberg leaned slightly to the left, whereas the countryside had very high shares for the right and in particular the Sweden Democrats.[18]
