How this chart was made
  • The figures are Statistics Norway's own, from table 07459: the number of inhabitants of the municipality. We chose the ten largest.
  • The share is calculated by us: the inhabitants of the largest municipality divided by the inhabitants of the whole country, both Statistics Norway's figures.
  • Municipalities with two official names appear under the first, for example Oslo for “Oslo - Oslove”.
