Figures in our Statbank

On population we can present detailed, coherent and consistent statistical information for:

 

Population estimates: 1977-2014

Births: 1973-2013

Deaths: 1973-2013

Cause of Deaths: 1968-2010

Migration: 1993-2013

Internal migration: 1993-2013

 

In creating these tables the present administrative subdivision has been used and municipalities are as defined on January 1st 2009. At lower levels we use 2 concepts; districts are equivalent with municipalities prior to 2009 and localities. A locality is a place and can be any town, settlement, station, mine and can be inhabited or not. For definition we use the one ASIAQ (www.asiaq.gl) has determined. The Asiaq list on localities is as of now not complete with regards to historical localities.

 

To ensure consistency at detailed levels we have revised our data once again. Some minor inconsistencies have been corrected, and some differences can be found in comparing the revised tables with previously publications.

From summary table 3 we learn that 821 children were born in 2012, which are 31 more compared to 2011. The relatively small birth cohorts from the mid-seventies has for most now completed their fertile period. They will be replaced by relatively larger birth cohorts in the coming years.

 

The fertility pattern has been unchanged with total fertility at reproduction level. Graph 1 shows the total fertility rates over the past 10 years. There are no major differences at the municipal level. But large differences can be found between towns and settlements. Visit our Statbank: http://bank.stat.gl/BEEBBSF2
