[edit] Demography

Aneby Municipality is the smallest municipality in the county. In 1994, the population in the municipality was at an all time high of 7,300 persons, which is attributed to refugees from former Yugoslavia. The population has since decreased, to the regret of the officials who are promoting to get it populated to the 8,000 inhabitants its service is designated for.
