Definitions and explanations

Two dots (..) means that the number is too uncertain to be stated.

The survey has a new design in 2021. This means that comparisons with previous surveys should be done with caution. The survey is under development and is not published as official statistics. More information about the quality of the statistics can be found in “Kvalitetsdeklaration” and “Statistikens framtagning” available on the survey’s webpage.

The survey is based on a random selection of individuals 18 years and older and the households to which the selected individuals belong.

The values in the tables are only estimates of true values in the population. The uncertainty in the estimates is expressed with a confidence interval formed by the estimate ± the margin of error. The confidence interval contains the true population value with 95 percent probability.

Single: households with one adult with or without children.

Cohabiting: households with two adults in cohabitation with or without children.
Other households: households where there, in addition to the definition of one of the other household types, is at least one person who is 20 years or older. It can, for example, be a child older than 19 years.
