Statistics on the Danish national grid

Analyse geographical areas with the Danish national grid, The Danish national grid, which was established by Statistics Denmark and the Danish Geodata Agency, divides the country into thousands of cells, which can be filled with statistics. You can then analyse and aggregate the information in the grid e.g. for use in market analyses, for local planning or for research., Detailed content that is stable over time, The grid is stable over time, unlike administrative divisions such as municipalities, postcodes and parishes. We provide data on grid cells as small as 100 x 100 meter. Provided our requirements for non-identification of individuals or companies can be met (Privacy Requirements). Contact us if you need a different cell size., Below you can see an example of statistics on the grid. The map shows how many people live within each square kilometer (text in Danish only)., Number of inhabitants by 1 square kilometer cells, Attach population statistics to the cells, Statistics Denmark offers several types of statistics on the Danish national grid e.g. by municipalities, regions or the entire country., Statistics on the nighttime population, Here you will find information on the number of households and persons residing within the cells., Documentation - nighttime population, Table example - nighttime population., Statistics on the daytime population, Here you will find information about the number of people staying in the cells during the daytime.

However, you can find the detailed price list for deliveries of statistics on the grid here:, Pricelist_National_Grid_2025 - English, Privacy Requirements, If you buy statistics from us, we are very careful to comply with the so-called discretionary - or privacy requirements. In practice, this means that we require a certain minimum number of households in each grid cell. The requirements are either 50, 100 or 150 households, depending on the statistical variable you have selected. Cells with a smaller number of households than the minimum requirement must be aggregated with other cells before statistics can be delivered. The merged cells are called clusters. You can read more about how we produce clusters here:, Fact Sheet about clusters, Fact sheet about clusters, You can find the requirements for number of households in the list of variables below:, List of variables - the Danish national grid, Ordering, To order statistics on the Danish National Grid, please click on the button below and fill out the form.

Profile on employees

Do you want a statistical overview of your employees or members in your organisation? Then we can produce a statistical profile of your employees which contains statistics on, for example, the employees' gender, descent and educational background, Submit your own subgroups, You can break up your employees in subgroups e.g. into job categories, departments or management level. Then we will deliver statistics on these groups. There must be no duplicates – i.e. the same person may not be part of two or more groups at the same time., The tables, There are a total of 6 tables, which contain the following cross tabulations:, Table 1: Staff group x origin, Table 2: Staff group x age, Table 3: Staff group x gender x origin, Table 4: Staff group x region, Table 5: Origin x education, Table 6: Origin x country of origin, Only Tables 1-4 can be delivered on selfdefined subgroups of staff.

VAT (DKK 17.790 incl. VAT),, however, the price can increase slightly if you want to get data on your own sub groups of staff. , Therefore you might have to pay for a few hours on top of the above mentioned price., Delivery, In order to prepare the tables, we need the civil registration numbers, (CPR numbers) of the employees or members sent to us. There must be at least 20 people in the company or association in order for us to provide statistics. If you divide staff into smaller groups, the risk of statistical disclosure increases. If, for example, you want to divide into two staff groups, there must be a minimum of 20 people in each group otherwise they will be disclosed. Fewer groups will normally result in more information about staff or members. You can find a template for how to report the CPR numbers below., We usually deliver within two weeks after we have received your order and we have received the CPR numbers. You will receive the tables in Excel sheets by e-mail., Indberetningsskabelon, Important!, Do not send any CPR numbers to Statistics Denmark before you have been told how to do it.
