The population has increased with only circa 500 people the last ten years. In Tynnered, almost 34% of the inhabitants are younger than 25 years old. That percentage is much higher compared to the average in the city of Gothenburg. In principle have the inhabitants of Tynnered generally work, income and health like the rest of the people in Gothenburg. Due to the lack of workplaces in the borough, most employees work in other parts of the city. The turnout during Swedish general election 2006 was higher than in Gothenburg in general.
