Net loan debt per resident ranges from NOK 12,409 in Nittedal to NOK 308,361 in Dyrøy

• The figures are Statistics Norway's own, from table 13540: net loan debt per resident in the municipality's own accounts (not the consolidated group). We have not calculated them. We have not found Statistics Norway's own definition of "net loan debt", so we do not explain what goes into the figure.
• The figure says how much the municipality owes per resident, not whether the debt is too large: it says nothing about what the municipality owns or earns. Municipalities without a figure for 2025 (for example those that have merged) are grey.
• The municipalities are split into five classes with about the same number of municipalities in each (quintiles), calculated by us. The bounds are rounded to the nearest thousand kroner; each class includes its lower bound and not its upper. The colour therefore shows the order of the municipalities, not how large the differences are.
• The municipal boundaries are from Kartverket (Administrative units, municipalities, reference date 1 January 2026, CC BY 4.0), simplified to 300 metres for drawing. They carry no figures. Svalbard is not included.
• Small municipalities have few residents, so the figures there can swing a lot from year to year.

Statistics Norway's notes on the table

• The table gives a summary of the relevant accounting classifications in relation to the population.
• For explanations of specific data issues, adjustments to published figures, breaks in time series, and municipal mergers, see Structural explanations and the correction log (in Norwegian).
• . = Category not applicable. Figures do not exist at this time, because the category was not in use when the figures were collected.
