Nacka Municipality – facts, statistics, and insights
Nacka Municipality is located just east of Stockholm and is known for its rapid growth, proximity to both the city and nature, as well as a rich offering of services and culture. In recent years, the municipality has become a magnet for families, entrepreneurs, and creative professions – where archipelago, urban pulse, and innovation meet in a unique way.
Population and Demographics
Nacka is one of Sweden's most expanding municipalities. The population has increased significantly during the 2000s, largely thanks to large housing developments and the influx of young families. Residents are relatively young compared to the national average, with many young families living here, but also an increasing number of older residents choosing to stay when children move out. It is also a municipality with a high level of education and low unemployment.
It is fascinating how Nacka manages to combine the opportunities of the city with the charm of the archipelago – and still grows faster than many other municipalities in the country.
Tax, Welfare, and Municipal Services
The total municipal tax rate in Nacka (excluding church fee) is 30.26%. It is divided into municipal tax (17.88%), county council tax (12.38%), and funeral fee (0.2%). If you choose to be a member of the Church of Sweden, an additional church fee of 1.03% applies, bringing the total tax burden to 31.29%.
Tax revenues are used for everything from preschools, schools, and elderly care to culture, sports facilities, and public transportation. Nacka has invested heavily in digitization and choice within welfare services – for example, residents can choose providers for home care or schools. The municipality also faces challenges in meeting the needs in line with the rapid population growth, especially regarding housing and school places.
Economy and Labor Market
Nacka is an economically strong municipality with low unemployment and high employment rates. Many residents commute to jobs in Stockholm, but there is also a growing local business sector within IT, consulting, retail, and creative industries. The municipality invests in attracting new companies and has several shopping centers, office areas, and business clusters. At the same time, there are challenges in maintaining a diverse labor market where both small and large companies can grow.
Geography and Attractions
Nacka has a unique geography with lakeside areas, forests, and proximity to Stockholm's inner city. Several of Stockholm's most attractive archipelago islands belong to the municipality, and there are popular outdoor areas such as Hellasgården and Nyckelviken. Nacka Forum is one of Sweden's largest shopping malls, and the cultural scene is vibrant with everything from art galleries to concerts and sporting events. It is common for residents to start their day with a jog by the water and end with dinner in the city.
