Greenland's 2nd most populous municipality Qaasuitsup Kommunia will be divided as of January 1st 2018 into 2 municipalities respectively Kommune Qeqertalik and Avannaata Kommunia. Avannaata Kommunia will then be Greenland's 2nd most populous municipality, while the Kommune Qeqertalik will be the smallest.
StatBank Greenland now has a table (http://bank.stat.gl/beest2a), where the new municipalities have been calculated for the period 1977-2017. All other tables will reflect the new division in future releases.
The new municipalities have received official authority codes, 959 for Kommune Qeqertalik and 960 for Avannaata Kommunia cf. the CPR newsletter of 4 September (https://www.cpr.dk/cpr-nyt/nyhedsarkiv/2017/sep)
These codes will be reused in the StatBank's tables and users of the StatBank API and 'saved tables' may need to adjust ‘saved queries’ in order to get the new municipalities in datasets.
