Abstract: We evaluate asymptotically the variance of the number of squarefree integers up to $x$ in short intervals of length $H<x^{6/11-varepsilon}$ and the variance of the number of squarefree integers up to $x$ in arithmetic progressions modulo $q$ with $q>x^{5/11+varepsilon}$. On the assumption of respectively the Lindel"of Hypothesis and the Generalized Lindel"of Hypothesis we show that these ranges can be improved to respectively $H<x^{2/3-varepsilon}$ and $q>x^{1/3+varepsilon}$. Furthermore we show that obtaining a bound sharp up to factors of $H^{varepsilon}$ in the full range $H<x^{1-varepsilon}$ is equivalent to the Riemann Hypothesis. These results improve on a result of Hall (1982) for short intervals, and earlier results of Warlimont, Vaughan, Blomer, Nunes and Le Boudec in the case of arithmetic progressions.
