Interactive map reveals dramatic demographic shifts in Sweden and Germany
The demographic landscapes of Sweden and Germany are undergoing drastic transformations, primarily due to mass migration.
Bernhard Zimniok, a politician from Alternative für Deutschland, developed an interactive map illustrating these significant changes.
The interactive tool vividly portrays Sweden’s demographic alterations from 2002 to 2020, using data from Statistics Sweden.
It categorizes individuals of foreign origin as those born within or outside Sweden with one or both parents from abroad.

This approach offers a detailed understanding of population changes in Sweden, revealing a substantial demographic transformation over the analyzed period.
The map also enables age-specific analyses and provides projections for the future.
Similarly, Germany has seen notable demographic shifts due to mass migration. The map represents Germany’s population composition, focusing on individuals of foreign origin by age and gender.
Data for this section originates from the Federal Statistical Office’s special microcensus evaluations for various years.
However, some regions in Germany have not provided data, leading to gaps on the map.
Despite these limitations, the available information emphasizes the considerable impact of migration on different regions.
Zimniok invites individuals worldwide to contribute to this project.
Those interested in supplying their country’s demographic data can reach out to the team by emailing [email protected].
This collaborative effort can enhance the project’s dataset and extend its scope.
