Askim (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈâɧːɪm])[1] is a district (stadsdelsnämndsområde) of the Gothenburg Municipality in Sweden, about 10 km (6 mi) south-west of the city centre.
The voting base in Askim is predominantly bourgeoisie, while Gothenburg as a whole has a social democratic, socialist and environmentalist majority.
The less expensive areas are popular with families with children due to a reputation for safety and good schools.
Beneath Askim lies many historical artifacts dating back to the Stone Age.
The people living here have a much higher income compared to other average citizens of both Gothenburg and Sweden.
