Boden, Luleå and Älvsbyn all add up

A smaller city
There are 110,000 residents in the area: Luleå has about 72,000; Boden 28,000 and Älvsbyn 9,000.

Highly educated
In the age group 25-64, the number of people with some form of post-secondary education is well above the national average.

Childcare
Municipal childcare services are well developed and per-capita municipal funding of this sector is higher than the national average. Fees paid by families are competitive.

Money to spare
It is cheaper to live here. A comparison of all household expenditures shows that the cost of living is 15 to 20% lower here than in major urban centres. Above all, housing costs are lower.

Get to work (and home) quickly
Another advantage is that getting to work is easy, both when travelling within each centre and commuting between centres. There are regular express bus services between all three municipalities.
