Area codes
of Sweden

A Swedish area code is one to three digits after the trunk 0 — 08 Stockholm, 031 Göteborg, 040 Malmö, 0920 Luleå — and there are 264 of them. The first digit is the region the plan was laid out in: 1 the east around Norrköping and Uppsala, 2 Dalarna and the Gävle coast, 3 the west coast, 4 the south, 5 the inland from Värmland to Jönköping, 6 the middle north, 8 Stockholm, 9 the far north. This map draws each code on the municipalities whose seat dials it, coloured by that digit.

How to read the map. Each patch is a code and the numeral on it is what you dial there, with the place the code is named for beneath; zoom in for the smaller ones. The colour is the digit after the 0, which the plan handed out by region: 1 is Östergötland, Södermanland and Uppland, 2 Västmanland, Dalarna and Gävleborg, 3 Västra Götaland and Halland, 4 Skåne, Blekinge, Kronoberg, Kalmar and Gotland, 5 Värmland, Örebro, Skaraborg and Jönköping, 6 Västernorrland and Jämtland, 8 greater Stockholm, 9 Västerbotten and Norrbotten. 07 is mobile and has no ground. The panel lists all 264 codes; 56 of them, mostly rural — Vikbolandet's 0125, Tärnaby's 0954 — are a part of a municipality whose seat dials another code, so they appear in the list and inside their neighbour's patch, not as patches of their own.

Where the lines come from. The regulator, PTS, publishes each code with the places it is named for and no boundary, and the areas do not follow municipal lines. Each municipality here is drawn in the code its seat dials: taken from Wikidata where the seat's own entry records it, else the code named for the seat or the municipality in Wikipedia's list, a few from the municipality's own switchboard number, and the rest — chiefly the suburbs of Stockholm, all 08 — from the nearest municipality that has one, which the build counts. So the patches are municipal, and a code that in the plan ends at a parish boundary ends here at the municipality's edge.

Sources. Codes: Swedish Wikipedia, Lista över svenska riktnummer — the 264 geographic codes with the places each is named for, after PTS's numbering plan. Code per municipality: Wikidata, each municipality's seat (P36) and its local dialling code (P473), and the code on other places by municipality (P131).
