How this chart was made
  • The figures are Statistics Norway's own, from table 13880: resident immigrants on 1 January by country background. We chose the ten largest in 2026.
  • The groups stand in order of size in each column, so the lines show how the order has changed. The numbers are written at the ends of the lines. The place in the table is the group's place among all country backgrounds (equal values share a place), calculated by us.
  • The figures count residents on 1 January, not how many arrived during the year. The table shows how the order has changed, not why. Small numbers (one and two) are changed to 0 or 3 to protect privacy.

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.
