Örnsköldsvik’s municipality has during the period 2016 to 2023 had a slight decline in population. The publicly elected leaders of the municipality had set up a vision for 5000 people to move in before the year 2030. This paper aims to analyze and present data of different demographic variables such as total number of people moving in and out of the municipality in the ages of 20-29, average lifespan and average age, total number of births and deaths. Then calculate the dependency quota to see how that has changed over time. Apart from that, two localities will be studied closer and what types of service they have and how that might affect the population change. What the results showed was that the young adults in the ages 20-24 had higher number of people moving out than in. In the older age group of 25-29 it was the opposite where more people moved in. The results also showed that the dependency quota has increased over time, as well as the mean age has risen. Furthermore, it shows that the number of births has decreased over time. Overall, the study revealed that the municipality’s vision of 5000 more people to move in will be hard to achieve.
