Area panels
If you click a property on the map, the property panel opens. If you click something else, a county, a basic statistical unit (grunnkrets), an address or a car park, one of the panels on this page opens. The geographic levels follow the official classification from Statistisk sentralbyrå (SSB) and are sorted from largest to smallest.
The levels on the map
The zoom level decides which unit a click hits: the further in you are, the finer the unit you get. The screenshots below show Oslo at four levels.
County. The whole county in view, which is the extent a county panel sums over.
Municipality. Oslo kommune, the level most portfolio reviews start at.
Borough. A single bydel (borough). Below this level, the grunnkrets boundaries start to matter.
Basic statistical unit. Neighbourhood level, the smallest unit SSB publishes statistics for.
The codes are the same at any zoom: you can look up a grunnkrets directly in Search without zooming there first.
Country
The top level in the hierarchy. Norway is the only country Placepoint covers today. The panel collects statistics at national level and lets you download aggregated data exports.
County
Uses the two-digit county code (Oslo 03, Akershus 32, Rogaland 11). The panel shows totals at county level and links on to the municipalities it contains.
Municipality
Uses the four-digit municipality number (Oslo 0301, Bergen 4601, Trondheim 5001). The panel shows municipality totals, which county it belongs to, the list of bydeler and which public inspection data is available.
Postal code
Four-digit postal code (Oslo sentrum 0150, Bergen sentrum 5003). The panel aggregates property and demographic figures for the whole postal code zone. Postal code zones follow the postal delivery routes and do not line up with any of the SSB levels, so figures per postal code cannot be compared directly with figures per grunnkrets.
Borough
Six-digit code: the four-digit municipality number and a two-digit borough number (030101 is Gamle Oslo). Only Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim and Stavanger have formal bydeler. For other municipalities, use sub-area or basic statistical unit instead.
Sub-area
Eight-digit code that always ends in two zeros (03010100). The delområde is SSB's intermediate level between municipality and grunnkrets, and groups the units within a municipality. Useful when the grunnkrets figures get too small to be stable.
Basic statistical unit
Eight-digit code: the four-digit municipality number, a two-digit sub-area and a two-digit unit (03010101). The grunnkrets is the smallest unit in SSB's hierarchy and is used for demographic and business statistics at neighbourhood level.
Statistics root
Top-level statistics with no specific area selected. Used as an entry point when you do not know which level you are looking for.
Company
Clicking a company opens the company panel, which collects the property portfolio, the ownership structure, the roles and the key figures from the annual accounts. You get there from Search or from an ownership link in Ownership and Company Structure.
Address
The address panel is a lookup on one official address from the Kartverket matrikkel. The panel shows the related matrikkelnummer, buildings and bruksenheter (units of use). Use it when you have a street address but do not know which property it sits on.
Street
The street panel collects all addresses along one street in a municipality. The panel lists each house number address and lets you open the address panel or the property panel for each number. Useful for seeing the whole stock in a street in one place, for example for housing sales analyses or rental mapping.
Places name
The place name panel opens on an entry in Sentralt stedsnavnregister (the central place name register) and shows the name type (tunnel, mountain, island, town, borough), which municipality and county it belongs to, and a hierarchical list of nearby place names. Use it for geographic navigation when you know a name but not a matrikkelnummer or an address.
Parking area
The parking area panel describes a defined parking facility: type (multi-storey car park, open surface, on-street), number of spaces, facilities (accessible spaces, charging points) and owner or operator. The data comes from the Parkeringsplasser map layer. Clickable from search or directly on the map.
