Sweden Administrative Boundaries (2026)

GeoJSON dataset containing Sweden's administrative boundaries for 2026 in WGS84 format.

The dataset represents the official administrative divisions of Sweden at the start of the year 2026.

Included administrative levels:

  • Rike (Country)
  • Län (Counties / Regions)
  • Kommuner (Municipalities)

All geometries are provided as GeoJSON and use the coordinate system WGS84 (EPSG:4326).


Dataset Contents

The repository contains three datasets:

geojson/ rike.geojson lan.geojson kommun.geojson

Geometry type: MultiPolygon

Each feature includes attributes describing the administrative unit, such as:

  • lanskod
  • lansbokstav
  • kommunkod
  • beslutatnamn
  • landskod
  • referensdatumfran
  • referensdatumtill

Dataset Description

The dataset Kommun, län och rike describes Sweden's administrative territorial divisions as polygon geometries.

Municipality boundaries are derived from property boundaries in the Swedish Real Property Register.
County geometries are aggregated from municipalities, and the national boundary is aggregated from counties.

Because some administrative areas contain exclaves, geometries are represented as MultiPolygon objects.

This repository contains the annual dataset for 2026, representing the administrative divisions as they appear at the beginning of the year (1 January 2026).

Annual datasets are commonly used for:

  • statistical analysis
  • historical comparisons
  • geographic analysis
  • mapping and visualization

Source

The data originates from the official Swedish dataset:

Kommun, län och rike

Produced by:

  • Lantmäteriet – current datasets and annual datasets from 2025 onwards
  • Statistics Sweden (SCB) – historical annual datasets

Specification:

https://www.lantmateriet.se/globalassets/temawebbar/ngp/informationsspecifikation_kommun_lan_rike_test_1_rev32.pdf


Data Processing

The original dataset is distributed by Lantmäteriet as GeoPackage (.gpkg) in the coordinate reference system SWEREF99 TM.

For this repository the data has been:

  • converted to GeoJSON
  • reprojected to WGS84 (EPSG:4326)
