List of cities in Scandinavia by population
- List of cities in Scandinavia by population
This is a list of cities in Scandinavia by population. The population is measured on a national level, independently by each statistical bureau. Statistics Sweden uses the term "tätort" (urban settlement), Statistics Denmark uses "byområde" (city), while Statistics Norway uses "tettsted" (urban settlement). In Denmark and Sweden, these terms are defined as a continuous built-up area whose population is at least 200 inhabitants and where the maximum distance between residences is 200 metres. In Norway, the maximum distance is 50 meters, but distances up to 400 meters is used in certain circumstances. Many urban areas throughout Scandinavia have witnessed conurbation and grown together. This is particularly true for the larger cities.
The 50 most highly populated urban areas in Scandinavia
Note that the population numbers from the different countries are from different years, as Statistics Norway and Statistics Denmark release the statistic yearly (albeit at different times of the year), Statistics Sweden only release the figures every five years.
Therefore, the Norwegian data is from the 2007 census, the Danish data is from 2006 and the Swedish from 2005.
