Housing stock
How many multi-dwelling houses are there in Denmark? What is the average size of a terraced house? How many holiday homes are there? The dwelling statistics include both occupied and unoccupied dwellings in Denmark. The statistics can be disaggregated by e.g. municipality, ownership and heating source.
Selected statistics on Housing stock
Number of dwellings
The Central Register of Buildings and Dwellings (BBR) and the Central Population Register (CPR). The Central Register of Buildings and Dwellings was established in 1977 (Act No. 243 of May 12, 1976). The purpose of the register is, through arrangements made by the local authorities, to provide for the systematic registration of information relating to buildings and dwellings for use in the administration and planning of both central and local government. The main purposes were primarily property assessment and the population and housing censuses. Several other purposes, mainly for municipalities, have later been added to the use of the register.
