- fl7305 3y agoDang it, I got nerdsniped (https://xkcd.com/356/ https://xkcd.com/356/). With the help of ChatGPT, I crossreferenced two lists of all municipalities (kommuner) in Sweden to place them in an increasing latitude order (south->north), and calculated where the 80% population threshold lies. The answer is Västerås, which is a bit north of Stockholm. It is only 31.7% of the distance to the northernmost point in Sweden. So 80% of Sweden's population lives in the southernmost 32% of the country. This might not be called "Sydsverige" in Swedish, but describing it to a foreigner I think 32% qualifies as "Southern Sweden".
- pastage 3y agoI will resist this nerdsnipe. I know there is a population density map as well I think the 250m squares is freely available. So we could make a slider from Ystad to Treriksröset from 0% to 100% would make a good progress bar.
