Back in the peak of the refugee crisis there were towns up here that got packed ful of immigrants but it didn't last long.
1. They themselves didn't wanna live here and actually protested and refused to leave the buses in some cases.
2. Northern Sweden doesn't have access to the same welfare offices, unemployment programs and immigration services and they do down south.
3. Fewer people in general.
You still see them but they are incredibly rare compared to down south. And extremely segregated. Norrland (aka the north) is pretty much lawless. Police and emergency response time can be hours, even as much as 8 hours up in Lapland. With a population mainly consisting of old angry boomers, all armed who do not give a single shit about the law.
Around 30 000 people go missing every year in Sweden. The vast majority are found within 24 hours. But statistics show that almost all the ones who aren't found are usually in the north.
Right now as of 2025 there is 38 people missing in the Norrland area who have been gone for a year or more.
Not a place for Ahmed to steal phones or act tough.
