Danderyd Municipality

Danderyd Municipality (Template:Langx; Template:IPA) is a municipality north of Stockholm in Stockholm County in east central Sweden. It is one of the smallest municipalities of Sweden, but the most affluent. Its seat is located in Djursholm and it is located within Stockholm urban area.

The "old" rural municipality Danderyd was split up during the early 20th century, when Djursholm and Stocksund broke away in 1901 and 1910 respectively. Since 1971 Danderyd Municipality is reunified in approximately the old boundaries. The population in 2019 was 32,857.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The four districts making up Danderyd are: Danderyd, Djursholm, Stocksund and Enebyberg.

Demographics

Income and education

The population in Danderyd Municipality is among the most affluent in the country, having the highest median income per capita.<ref name="Medianinkomst">Template:Cite web</ref> One of the reasons for this is the high price on real estate, which in turn is partially due to a restrictive policy on new developments by the municipality council.

The high income of the population has enabled the municipality to maintain a relatively low rate of taxation, but a government redistribution scheme intended to transfer money from socioeconomically advantaged municipalities to those less well-off along with financial mismanagement has caused tax rises and expenditure reductions in recent years.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Danderyd Municipality also has the highest share (57.0%) of highly educated persons (Statistics Sweden definition: persons with post-secondary education that is three years or longer) in the country.<ref name="Andel högutbildade">Template:Cite web</ref>
