How this chart was made
- The figures are Statistics Norway's own, from table 13880. We have not calculated them: we chose the ten countries with the most immigrants.
- Immigrants are people born abroad to two foreign-born parents who at some point immigrated to Norway. Norwegian-born children of immigrants are not included. This is Statistics Norway's definition.
- Country background is the country the immigrant was born in.
- Small numbers (one and two) are changed to 0 or 3 to protect privacy. This does not affect the largest groups.
Statistics Norway's notes on the table
- All one and two digits have been changed to 0 or 3 for each country separately to protect privacy. When the figures are aggregated to parts of the world and country groups, the total may therefore deviate somewhat from the actual figures.
