The statistics are based on information gathered once a year.
Data collection
The majority of data is collected by system to system reporting. However, there are a few municipalities that report manually. In cooperation with system suppliers, Statistics Denmark has established requirements for reporting content etc.
Data validation
When data is received by Statistics Denmark, it is subjected to several error checks. The validation range from micro- and macro checks, overlapping data and structural checks. Data is validated through a dialogue with municipalities.
