About Tallvett

Welcome to Tallvett.

We make figures from Statistics Norway understandable, with charts and short explanations.

Statistics Norway openly publishes roughly 7,500 tables.

That is a shared set of facts for the whole society.

But a table with thousands of cells is rarely what helps you understand.

A good chart turns the table into an answer.

In a few seconds you see who stands out, and how big the difference really is.

You see how things change over time.

You can compare municipalities, occupations, age groups and countries.

And you see what is typical, and what stands out.

The charts are made for readers who want to understand the figures behind the news.

For journalists who need a correct chart to embed.

For teachers and students, for municipalities and businesses, and for researchers.

Everything exists in both Norwegian and English.

We are an independent team with extensive background in data analysis and visualisation.

We read Statistics Norway's own definition before we draw anything.

We test every calculation against figures taken directly from SSB's tables.

And we choose the angle that withstands scrutiny, without claiming causes that the table does not show.

Every chart shows its source and table number, and works on a phone and without JavaScript.

You can embed it on your site, as long as you credit us and Statistics Norway.

Tallvett is an independent project, and not a service of Statistics Norway.

Find the charts, and embed them, on our site.
