Wellbeing in Stockholm
The Wellbeing Index provides an overall picture of how people in the Stockholm region experience their lives. It is formed from four components: Good life, Happiness, Meaning, and Life richness.
The TACK factors—Togetherness, Agency, Coherence and Kinetics—are dimensions associated with wellbeing that may help us understand why experiences differ between people and groups.

Illustrative wellbeing value
Across the people reached, over the selected period
≈ 904.68 million SEK
About 904,679,581 SEK in total
This is a value implied by stated willingness to pay and an observed association. It is not public revenue, a budget saving or evidence that an initiative would cause this change.
Putting this number into perspective
Examples of Region Stockholm’s allocations for the full year 2026:
These are annual allocations in a regional budget. The scenario above covers your selected period and estimates a hypothetical wellbeing value, not money the region would receive or save.

Increase in the chosen TACK factor × regression coefficient × 3,064 SEK × people reached × months. The coefficient comes from our model pooling six survey waves and describes an association between the factors and the Wellbeing Index, not the effect of an intervention.
The VOWI figure averages willingness to pay for happiness, meaning and life richness. Applying it to changes in the four-question Wellbeing Index is an approximation. Read the source ↗
