Family living analysis

Where is the best place to live with school children?

Choosing where to live is choosing a school. The map shows a composite index for families with children: merit score, teacher certification, pupil satisfaction and the number of schools to choose from are combined. The darker the blue, the higher the index.

Best municipalities for families with school children

When families choose where to live, school is often the most important factor. But ‘school quality’ is multi-dimensional. The map combines four indicators into a family index (0–100):

The indicators are weighted equally. A municipality missing data for an indicator gets the average of the others, and a municipality with fewer than two indicators gets no index. The map gives a quick overview, but if you live locally you should also visit the schools and read the Swedish Schools Inspectorate’s reports.
