What the dataset contains
Municipality Borders in Placepoint
Norway's 357 municipalities with municipality numbers (a four-digit code) and official outer boundaries. Most analyses in Placepoint use this dataset as their administrative base: demographics, business statistics, zoning plans, municipal plans and municipal information are all combined on this layer. The dataset changes only when municipalities merge or when administrative boundaries are adjusted. The last major round was in 2020.
Kartverket supplies the boundaries as the land registration authority and manager of national map and geodata services. Related administrative datasets: Counties' borders, School catchment areas, Voting districts, Primary Schools and the municipality's own plan registers through SePlan.
