Skärholmen is one of Stockholm's 11 official stadsdelsnamnder (city district committees). Bra (Brottsforebyggande radet), Sweden's national crime-prevention council, recorded 6,411 total reported offences here in 2025, across a population of 38,112 residents (Stockholms stad, 31 December 2024) — a rate of 16,821 offences per 100,000 residents, close to the citywide average. This rate is calculated against registered residents, not footfall, so a busy central, station, or nightlife-heavy district can read higher without that meaning it is unusually risky to walk through, and a quiet residential district can show a low rate simply by having few offences relative to its population. This is Wandroz's official-data layer for Stockholm — real Bra / Stockholms stad figures, not a qualitative or press-based judgment — and the source data is not split here by time of day, so both figures shown here are the same.

Frequently asked questions
Is Skärholmen safe?
Wandroz currently rates Skärholmen in Stockholm as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Stockholm. This rating is derived from Brå (Brottsförebyggande rådet)'s official crime statistics — an official statistic, not an assessment. High-footfall tourist, transit or shopping areas can read higher on this kind of measure without that meaning elevated risk per visit, since these statistics are normalised against registered residents rather than footfall — see the note on this page and the methodology page for the full caveats. The source data has no day/night breakdown, so this single rating applies at any time of day rather than being a distinct night-specific figure.
Does Skärholmen's rating differ between day and night?
No — Skärholmen's source data has no time-of-day breakdown, so the same rating (roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Stockholm) is shown for both day and night rather than Wandroz inventing a separate night figure it doesn't actually have.
Is Skärholmen a good area to stay in as a tourist?
Skärholmen's day rating (roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Stockholm) is the more relevant one for typical daytime tourist activity; check the night rating too if you'll be out late. The Booking.com link on this page searches Skärholmen itself.
Is there official crime data for Skärholmen?
Yes. Skärholmen's rating is derived from Brå (Brottsförebyggande rådet)'s official crime statistics, not an assessment — see the note on this page for the exact figure and the methodology page for full sourcing.
