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

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

Runebergsplan in numbers

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, Östermalm 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.

160,563 kr per m² is the median asking price across the 40 bostadsrätter for sale in Östermalm with a price and a size; half ask between 144,811 and 184,721 kr. The median flat asks SEK 15.4m, with a monthly fee of 4,317 kr. VERA PI's read of the estate agencies' own adverts, 20 October 2026 – asking prices, not sales; no single-street figure until the street has adverts of its own.

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).
