The SOM Institute Cumulative Dataset in Gothenburg 2016-2024

The Gothenburg SOM survey has been conducted yearly since 2016. A total of 9000 randomly selected citizens of Gothenburg answered questions about attitudes and habits in relation to society, opinion and media. Many of the questions in the Gothenburg survey are of a local nature, and concern local politicians and infrastructure initiatives.

The dataset has been modified slightly in relation to the codebook and/or the original file to reduce the risk of backdoor identification. The following changes have been made:

Removed variables: ja15a, ja15b, cb15, pinc2011, hinc1990, hinc1993, hinc1999, hinc2008, hinc2011, ankom, kommun, komkod2010, yearofbirthreg, lkf, sdn. Added variables: samhällsgrupp.

The SOM Institute also has an online tool for data analysis, where you can work with data from the national SOM surveys directly in your web browser. You can find it at https://som-institutet.se/dataanalys
