Vaxholm (commune)
Résumé
Vaxholm Municipality (Vaxholms kommun or Vaxholms stad) is a municipality in Stockholm County in east central Sweden. The municipal slogan is "Vaxholm – the capital of the archipelago", due to its central location in the archipelago. Its seat is located in the city of Vaxholm.
From 1974 to 1984 Vaxholm was united with Österåker Municipality, making up a municipality called Vaxholm, but with the seat in Åkersberga. After the "divorce" the new Vaxholm Municipality came out larger than it had been before the amalgamation. The municipality prefers to style itself City of Vaxholm.
The municipality is located within the Stockholm archipelago some north-east of the city of Stockholm. It includes the Bogesundslandet peninsula, along with 64 islands and islets. Principal islands include Edholma, Edlunda, Granholmen, Hästholmen, Kullö, Ramsö, Resarö, Rindö, Risholmen, Skarpö, Skogsön, Stegesund-Hästholmen, Tynningö, Vaxholmen and Vaxön.
The municipality includes five urban areas or localities as defined by Statistics Sweden. These are Resarö, Rindö, Skarpö, Tynningö and Vaxholm. In 2010, Kullö was also considered an urban area, but it has now been redefined as part of the Vaxholm urban area.
Other, less formally defined, places within the municipality include Karlsudd, Rindöby, Rindö smedja and Ytterby. Ytterby is known for its geology, and for the fact that no less than eight chemical elements were first discovered there.
The population in Vaxholm Municipality has the 8th highest median income per capita in Sweden. The share of highly educated persons, according to Statistics Sweden's definition: persons with post-secondary education that is three years or longer, is 36.4% (national average: 27.0%) and the 14th highest in the country.
On the 31st of December 2017 the number of people with a foreign background (persons born outside of Sweden or with two parents born outside of Sweden) was 1 599, or 13.52% of the population (11 831 on the 31st of December 2017). On the 31st of December 2002 the number of residents with a foreign background was (per the same definition) 1 044, or 10.
