Figures in our Statbank
On population we can present detailed, coherent and consistent statistical information for:
Population estimates: 1977-2017
Births: 1973-2016
Deaths: 1973-2016
Cause of Deaths: 1990-2013
Migration: 1993-2016
Internal migration: 1993-2016
In creating these tables the present administrative subdivision has been used and municipalities are as defined on 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.
