Retail activity, already linked to every property.
Placepoint's classification of areas with retail activity in each municipality, based on the density and revenue of business locations compiled from datasets based on Brønnøysundregistrene (BRREG) (Grocery Chains, Shopping centres, Department stores, Pharmacies, Fuel stations and more). We sort the areas within each municipality into five levels: Highest, High, Medium, Low and Lowest. These levels often match footfall well.

If you are a commercial property agent, retail activity gives you a summary of a municipality's retail pattern: where the town centre is, where the edge-of-town retail is and where people gather to visit. If you are a residential developer, it also helps you judge how close homes are to everyday services. Related: Shopping centres, Main Industry per Basic Statistical Unit, Daytime population.
