NORDIC MAJOR CITY STATISTICS Data on major cities and their regions. From the NORDSTAT database (nordstat.org)

Iceland Reykjavik Norway Sweden Finland Oulu Trondheim Tampere Bergen Stavanger Oslo Turku Stockholm Helsinki Göteborg Denmark Aalborg Århus Copenhagen Malmö Odense

THE NORDSTAT DATABASE major Nordic cities work together to produce comparable statistics. This collaboration has been established for more than years now. Major s of Scandinavia was published in 199. One of the pioneering new features of the publication was that it defined major city regions, and presented com parable statistics for cities, regions and countries. In connection with this project, the NORDSTAT data base, which is available at www.nordstat.org, was set up. Since then, current statistics have been added to the database on an annual basis. An extract from the database has been published each year, entitled Nordic Major Statistics. It is now more than years since the database was first launched. The fact that data is now available for a significant number of years means that considerable time series can be produced. This year s publication includes a number of time series, with key figures or indices from the database, in order to give an idea of the information which can be compiled using the database.

POPULATION AND POPULATION CHANGES The Nordic major city regions are steadily growing. This growth has risen from less than half a percent per year in the 197s to over one percent annually in recent years. The population has increased from.5 million inhabitants in 1971 to over 1. million. The fastest population growth has been seen in Oulu and Stavanger, where the population of the region is expected to more than double in size between 1971 and the end of the projection period by. For Oulu this is partly due to more muni cipalities being added to the region. This has also been the case in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö as well as in Aalborg and Århus. The cities are growing steadily as well, but on a smaller scale than in the regions. Population growth has been more moderate in the Danish cities and regions. In the city of Copenhagen the population has even decreased until shortly before the millennium. The charts on this page and the next page show population trends from 1971 onwards and a forecast up until. Pages -7 show population pyramids for cities and regions and.

HOUSEHOLDS In, 3 % of the households in the regions consisted of one person. 3 % consisted of two people, with the remainder consisting of three or more people. In central municipalities, single-person households made up half of all households. During the period - the proportion of households consisting of one or two persons have grown. We find the highest proportion of small households in the capital regions. The proportion of households with children are on the whole lower in the cities than in the regions. We find the lowest proportion of households with children in Turku and the highest in Stavanger.

MIGRATION The charts on this spread shows migration trends for the period 199-13. Migration is shown in relation to population. Most of the cities and major city regions gained a relatively large influx of new inhabitants, especially in the mid-199s and since the mid-s. Years when net migration has been negative are significantly few and have primarily concerned the cities. Reykjavik has experienced a net outmigration since 9. Net migration has been lowest in the Danish regions, most clearly seen in Odense and Aalborg up until recent years. Since the early 9s, the net migration has been highest in Malmö, but not during recent years. During the past year, the migration has been highest in the capitals but also in Bergen, Stavanger and Trondheim. The NORDSTAT database includes more detailed vital statistics..

DWELLINGS COMPLETED The construction of dwellings varies considerably between the regions. Housing construction has naturally been most notable in the major regions. The construction is mainly located in parts of the regions outside the cities. This applies especially for the capitals. Oulu, and also Tampere, has for all reported years had a high level of residential construction. In absolute terms, most new dwellings have been completed in the Helsinki region since the year, nearly 9 per year.

UNEMPLOYMENT For most cities the level of unemployment reached a peak in 1993-95. At that time, the sixteen regions had a combined total of over half a million unemployed. Unemployment has since fallen in most cities and regions. Unemployment rates differ significantly between countries more than between cities or regions. The cities of Iceland (data until ) and Norway feature low levels of unemployment, while the cities of Finland have the highest levels of unemployment. The cities often have somewhat higher levels of unemployment than their surrounding regions. NEXT SPREAD HOTELS AND TRAFFIC The database includes, among many other things, also information about motor vehicle in traffic and hotels by size. The charts on the next page illustrates this.
