Map layers · 11 layers
Demographics, layer by layer over the property.
The Demographics category shows population composition, income, wealth and education per grunnkrets (basic statistical unit), municipality and county, based on data from Statistisk sentralbyrå (SSB). The layers are useful for market assessments, housing projects, retail location and tenant prospecting where the socio-economic profile matters.
The layers
11 layers in Demographics
The income and wealth figures are based on the annual tax assessment from Skatteetaten (the Norwegian Tax Administration), but SSB aggregates them per grunnkrets before they reach Placepoint. The aggregation level and current statistics year are shown under Income and Wealth.

Layer by layer
What each layer shows
Wealth
Average wealth distributed across the grunnkretser, kommuner and counties. Data from Statistisk sentralbyrå (SSB). Dataset: Wealth. Average taxable net wealth distributed across grunnkretser.
Households
The number of families and the dominant household composition in the grunnkrets. Data from Statistisk sentralbyrå (SSB). Dataset: Households. The number of families and the dominant household composition per grunnkrets: single without children, single with children, multi-family, couple with children and couple without children.
Income and wealth statistics
Average income and wealth distributed across the grunnkretser, and the number of people. Data from Statistisk sentralbyrå (SSB). Dataset: Income and wealth statistics. The map shows how average income and wealth are distributed across the grunnkretser, and the number of people within different segments of income, wealth and age.
Voting districts
Voting districts and polling stations available in a kommune. Data from Geodata AS. Dataset: Voting districts. Shows voting districts and polling stations in the kommuner. The municipal council or the electoral committee decides the number of voting districts and polling stations. There is normally one polling station per voting district, but the electoral committee can set up extra polling stations where needed. From the 2023 election there is no longer a requirement that the polling station must be physically located inside the voting district.
Income
Average income distributed across the grunnkretser, kommuner and counties. Data from Statistisk sentralbyrå (SSB). Dataset: Income. Average income distributed across grunnkretser.
Age distribution
Average age distributed across all grunnkretser, kommuner and counties. Data from Statistisk sentralbyrå (SSB). Dataset: Age distribution. Average age per grunnkrets.
Population
Population figures distributed across all grunnkretser, kommuner and counties from Statistisk sentralbyrå (SSB). The figures are based on the registered home address, and are a good indicator of "who lives here", typically what you need for housing projects, sizing of schools and kindergartens, and local services. Dataset: Population. Population figures per grunnkrets.
Daytime population
Daytime population distributed across all grunnkretser, kommuner and counties from Statistisk sentralbyrå (SSB). The figures show where people actually are during the day (workplace, school, place of study), based on SSB's links to employment and pupil registers. Dataset: Daytime population. Estimated daytime population per grunnkrets.
Field of education
Which field of education most people in a grunnkrets fall under. Data from Statistisk sentralbyrå (SSB). Dataset: Field of education. Dominant field of education per grunnkrets. Categories: Allmenne fag, Helse- og sosialfag, Humanistiske og estetiske fag, Lærerutdanning, Naturvitenskap, Økonomiske fag, Primærnæringer, Samferdsel, Samfunnsfag and Uoppgitt.
Education Level

The population's highest completed education, for residents aged 16 and over (plus 15-year-olds who have completed primary school or started upper secondary education).
Population grid 100 m x 100 m
The map layer shows the number of residents in each cell in a grid of 100 x 100 metres. The data is based on demographic statistics from Statistisk sentralbyrå (SSB). The map layer shows the number of residents in each cell in a grid of 100 x 100 metres. The data is based on demographic statistics from Statistisk sentralbyrå (SSB).
