2022 by district

This is a demographic table based on Örebro Municipality's electoral districts in the 2022 Swedish general election sourced from SVT's election platform, in turn taken from SCB official statistics.[3]

Residents include everyone registered as living in the district, regardless of age or citizenship status.[3] Valid voters indicate Swedish citizens above the age of 18 who therefore can vote in general elections.[3] Left vote and right vote indicate the result between the two major blocs in said district in the 2022 general election. Employment indicates the share of people between the ages of 20 and 64 who are working taxpayers.[3] Foreign background denotes residents either born abroad or with two parents born outside of Sweden.[3] Median income is the received monthly income through either employment, capital gains or social grants for the median adult above 20, also including pensioners in Swedish kronor.[3] College graduates indicates any degree accumulated after high school.[3]

In total there were 117,940 Swedish citizen adults eligible to vote.[3] The political demographics were 52.1 % for the left bloc and 46.1 % for the right bloc.[3]

Elections

From the 1994 election onwards there was a boundary change due to the split with Lekeberg Municipality. The exact results of Sweden Democrats were not listed at a municipal level by SCB from 1988 to 1998 due to the party's small size at the time. "Turnout" denotes the percentage of eligible people casting any ballots, whereas "Votes" denotes the number of valid votes only.
