On population we can present detailed, coherent and consistent statistical information for:
Population estimates: 1977-2012
Births: 1973-2011
Deaths: 1973-2011
Cause of Deaths: 1968-2010
Migration: 1993-2011
Internal migration: 1993-2011
In creating these tables the present administrative subdivision has been used and municipalities are as defined January 1st 2009. At lower levels we use 2 concepts; districts are equivalent with municipalities prior to 2009 and localities. A locality is a place and can be any town, settlement, station, mine and can be inhabited or not. For definition we use the one ASIAQ (www.asiaq.gl) has determined. The Asiaq list on localities is as of now not complete with regards to historical localities.
To ensure consistency at detailed levels we have revised our data once again. Some minor inconsistencies have been corrected, and some differences can be found in comparing the revised tables with previously publications.
For fast access to a relevant table in the Statbank, links are found below each table and graph on the following pages.

From overview 3 we learn that 821 children were born in 2011, which are 48 fewer compared to 2010. The relatively small birth cohorts from the mid-seventies has for most now completed their fertile period. They will be replaced by relatively larger birth cohorts in the coming years.
The fertility pattern has been unchanged with total fertility above reproduction level. Graph 1 shows the total fertility rates over the past 10 years. There are no major differences at the municipal level. But large differences can be found between towns and settlements. Visit our Statbank: http://bank.stat.gl/BEEBBSF2
