Most holiday houses in inner land municipalities

The inner land municipalities of Ringsaker, Trysil and Hol has most holiday houses - 6 316, 5 792 and 4 946 huts respectively. The next three municipalities are situated by the Oslofjord; Fredrikstad, Hvaler and Larvik, with 4 423, 4 293 and 4 160 holidays houses respectively.

Some municipalities single out with especially many holiday houses. The ranking list, measured in number of holiday houses per square kilometre, do however look quite different. Here, Tjøme municipality thrones on top, with more than 56 holiday houses per square kilometre. The list top is dominated by island- and coast municipalities that are quite small measured in area.

In all, 394 102 holiday houses are registered in Norway, distributed on a total land area of 305 470 square kilometres (Norwegian mainland). This equals to 1.29 holiday houses per square kilometre.

Most buildings in Hordaland

Hordaland county, with its 344 386 buildings, is the county with most buildings in Norway. Akershus and Rogaland counties are second and third, with 298 294 and 284 111 buildings respectively. The three counties with most buildings stands for 24 per cent of the total building stock measured in number of buildings.

Foundation for statistics

The statistics are based on data from the Ground Property, Address and Building Register (GAB). The municipalities record data in the GAB. All buildings in Norway larger than 15 m2 are to be recorded in the register with a code for building type and coordinates. The statistics can include buildings that are torn down, burnt down or otherwise non-existing, if not reported to the municipality.

Connected units are recorded as separate buildings when the units can be torn down independently of each other. A single dwelling in row houses and in semi-detached houses is recorded as one building.

Improvement of the GAB register

Municipalities clean their registers at frequent intervals to improve quality. As a result, buildings that were not classified one year are assigned their correct building type the following year. In addition, incorrectly classified buildings are assigned their correct building type code. The number of registered buildings in a municipality may therefore change from one year to the next.

Conversion to new property register

As of 5 November 2007 the municipalities will be transferred in groups from the Ground Parcel, Address and Building Register (GAB) to the new property register, Matrikkelen. All municipalities will be transferred by the end of April 2009. In connection with the conversion the municipalities have conducted several quality tests. This may have resulted in extra improvements in some municipalities.

New area figures in 2008

The National Mapping Authority has recalculated areas for land and freshwater in 2008. The new calculations are based on a more detailed map source. This has lead to changes in total areas for municipalities, and in figures for land and freshwater area. Changes in density of huts (huts per square kilometer) may hence be due to changes in figures for land area.
