How Lund ranks

Scores run 0 to 100 against every municipality in Sweden. Ranks count only the places that pass each profile's minimums, so the totals differ by profile. Local data: official statistics on affordability, demographics, education and family, health and elderly, jobs and economy, safety and community and taxes and wealth (local or regional figures, sources on every place page) plus population and geography.
