This article addresses the matter of “urban spillover” in rural population development, i.e. how urban localities tend to push a ring of diffuse urban growth outwards as they expand in area. The data used does not support the existence of any actual rural population growth in Sweden in the 1990s, apart from the effects of urban spillover. Moreover, urban spillover varies geographically depending on the measurement method used.
