What the dataset contains
Population in Placepoint
Population per basic statistical unit: the number of registered residents at the latest reference date. Geodata AS supplies the dataset, and Statistisk sentralbyrå (SSB, Statistics Norway) is the underlying data owner. The basic statistical unit (grunnkrets) is the smallest official geographical unit for population statistics in Norway.
Population figures are the most basic demographic input for property analysis: market size, population density and change over time. For commercial agents and retail analysis, they give essential context: how many potential customers or workers are there within a given distance? For housing developers, they are the basis for assessing demand. Read together with Age distribution, Daytime population (the available daytime population, important for retail), Households and Education Level. Part of Placepoint's map layers for demographics.
Follows SSB's publication schedule.

How do I see population for a property?
Look up the address in Fusion and turn on the Demographics map layer. The dataset is a separate layer there, and the details appear in the property panel when you click on the map.
Can I get the dataset programmatically?
Yes. The same data is available in Placepoint API and in Placepoint AI through MCP, so you can bring it into your own systems and agents.
