1  Agglomerations with at least 200 inhabitants and where the distance between the houses as a rule does not exceed 50 metres. Before 1845 cities ("kjøpsteder" and "ladesteder") are defined as densely populated areas, so were agglomerations outside cities in the period 1845-1950.
2  Does not include Svalbard and Jan Mayen.
3  The population figure is probably about 15 000 too low.
4  Figures from revision of the census in 1980.
5  Does not include Holt-Dypvåg, 4 583 persons.
6  The population figure is probably about 20 000 too low.
7  Present population.
8  Including 15 952 persons with no information on densely/sparsely populated areas in 1980, 25 005 persons in 1990 and 43 826 persons in 2001.
9  New method for delimitation of urban settlements may influence the comparability with figures prior to 1999.
10  Adjusted 23.01.2014
