Kvastmakarbacken is a residential street of Södermalm, 170 metres long from Folkungagatan to Gruvbacken. Here is every house on it, on the map – and what this corner of Södermalm is like to live in.
Each part is a rank among all of Stockholms stad's streets; the parts are weighted and the total ranked again – the same measure for every street, so any two can be compared and shared. It is VERA PI's own ranking, not a price and not a valuation.

Walk the street
Every house on Kvastmakarbacken with an address, on the map – its buildings drawn at their real heights from the city's 3D model. Walk along the street with the slider, switch between the odd and the even side, or tap a house.
The street set against Stockholm and the whole of Sweden. Each figure is for the finest area its publisher reports – the street's own statistical area, Södermalm or the district of Södermalm – and says which. Nothing is modelled.

The street's areas: Statistics Sweden's DeSO 0180C3540, 1,467 residents – in SCB's areas Norra Sofia. Incomes are means, so a few very large incomes pull them up; capital income includes gains on sales of shares and property.

Prices and rents
Three homes in ten here are bostadsrätter – you buy a share in the association that owns the building, and pay it a monthly fee. The rest are rented, through the city's queue or second hand.

Twenty-five years of bostadsrätt prices
The county's median bostadsrätt sold for 5.2 times as much in 2025 as in 2000 – SEK 3.5m against SEK 0.68m.
Median sale price of a bostadsrätt, SEK thousand – Stockholm county, the finest level Statistics Sweden publishes; not the street. SCB, BO0501C.
What isn't public. Sweden has no open register of what bostadsrätter sell for, so no sale price is shown for a single address. A national register of bostadsrätter is coming – Lantmäteriet starts collecting from the associations in 2027 – but it records the flat, its holder and any pledges, not what it sold for. Asking prices come from the agencies' own adverts and are shown as asking prices, never as sales.
