Tensta is a district in Spånga-Tensta borough, Stockholm, Sweden.[2] There are about 6,000 apartments in Tensta[3] and a population of 18,637 as of December 31, 2022.[4]
Modern Tensta, with its Plattenbau-style concrete apartment buildings, was constructed in the 1960s. Like nearby Rinkeby and Hjulsta, it was part of the Million Programme, and became known nationwide in the late 1960s. This was partially because many people moved in when the area was still a construction site, and it took years before the metro station opened (in 1975).
In the center of Tensta, there is a small grocery market. The art gallery Tensta Konsthall is also situated close to the centre[5] and has gained a name in Sweden and abroad.
The government has decided to award to 200 million kronor ($30 million) in performance based subsidies to boost fifteen of Sweden’s suburbs grappling with social exclusion. Tensta is one of the suburbs that have chosen to receive this cash injection. The districts will receive the cash injection at the end of 2013 at the earliest, after the results from the past year have been evaluated. The subsidy - which is performance based - will be awarded for three criteria: how the areas deal with education, employment, and social benefits.[6]
In the 2011-13 period, about 53% of the population originated outside the EU and the Nordic countries.[7]
In its December 2015 report, Police in Sweden placed the district in the most severe category of urban areas with high crime rates.[8]
