How the score is counted

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.

The street on the map

Norra Länken on the map, drawn at the heights of the city's 3D model. No address in OpenStreetMap is on Norra Länken – the buildings along it carry the numbers of the streets around it, so there are no houses of its own to walk.

The street set against Stockholm and the whole of Sweden. Each figure is for the finest area its publisher reports – the street's own two statistical areas, Vasastaden or the district of Norra innerstaden – and says which. Nothing is modelled.

Prices and rents

Seven 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.

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.

Brå: reported crime is not all crime – not every crime comes to the police's attention. Local figures go by where the crime happened and are set against the people who live there. Our note: a district full of theatres, restaurants, shops and stations can therefore show a high rate against few residents. In 2025, 12 % of reports in the Stockholm police region had no recorded municipality. Sources: Brå, reported offences; Stockholms stad, Trygghetsmätning 2026 (source).

Who lives here
