The population of Sweden was estimated at 8,938,559 in 2000. This gives the country an overall population density of 20 persons per sq km (51 per sq mi). The great majority of the population lives in the southern half of Sweden, especially in the central lowlands, the plains of Skane, and the coastal lowlands. Large areas of the northern mountains are sparsely inhabited. Some 83 percent of the population is classified as urban. Sweden's population is composed principally of Scandinavians of Germanic descent and a relatively small number of ethnic Finns. About 17,000 Saami live mainly in the northern part of the country. Sweden's immigrant population is increasing rapidly, with approximately 500,000 aliens living in Sweden in the early 1990s. These included Finns, people from the former Yugoslavia, Iranians, Norwegians, Danes, Turks, Chileans, and others. Many came to Sweden as guest workers. Recently, increased numbers have entered Sweden to escape the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina; Sweden is second only to Germany in the number of refugees from that region. The principal cities of Sweden include Stockholm, the capital and largest city, with a population (1998 estimate) of 736,113; Geteborg (459,593), an industrial center and seaport; and Malme (254,904), a commercial center and seaport. Other major cities include Uppsala, Linkeping, arebro, Norrkeping, and Vasteras.
