This is a list of islands of Sweden. A 2013 statistics report concluded that there are 267,570 islands in Sweden, though less than 1,000 of these are inhabited.[1] The total area of the islands is 1.2 million hectares, which corresponds to 3% percent of the total land area of Sweden. Most of the islands are in the Baltic Sea regions of the Bay of Bothnia and the Bothnian Sea.[1]
Rough population statistics are from 2015.
