Low economic standard means a household’s disposable income per consumption unit is below 60 per cent of the national median; high economic standard means it is more than twice the median. It describes incomes, not what an area is like to live in.

Employment and unemployment come from Statistics Sweden’s annual register of labour-market status and can differ from the Labour Force Survey.
