Income

Average gross income per grunnkrets (basic statistical unit) based on the Norwegian Tax Administration's annual tax settlement, compiled by Statistisk sentralbyrå (SSB) and distributed to Placepoint by Geodata AS. Income is the single variable that correlates most strongly with house prices and purchasing power, and it is central to all market and location analyses of property.

For residential agents, the income level in the grunnkrets is essential context in the prospectus and the valuation, and an early indicator of the price range. For commercial agents, it is the basis for target group analysis and retail development. Read it together with Wealth, Income and wealth statistics (full segmentation), Education Level and Households. It is part of Placepoint's map layer for demographics.

Update frequency: annual.

Follows SSB publication.

Aggregation level and statistical year

The figures are aggregated per grunnkrets, not individual data from the tax authorities. The Norwegian Tax Administration's annual tax settlement is the underlying source, Statistisk sentralbyrå (SSB) compiles and publishes the figures per grunnkrets, and Geodata AS distributes them to Placepoint. You can therefore read the income level in an area, but not the income of a person or a household.

The dataset follows SSB's most recently published statistical year. SSB publishes the income and wealth statistics annually, about one year after the income year, and Placepoint updates the dataset when a new publication has been distributed. The current statistical year is shown on SSB's page for income and wealth statistics for households.
