How this chart was made

The figures are Statistics Norway's own, from table 11820: persons with immigrant background (immigrants and Norwegian-born to immigrant parents) as a share of the municipality's residents. We have not calculated them.
Immigrants are people born abroad to two foreign-born parents who themselves immigrated to Norway; Norwegian-born to immigrant parents are born in Norway to two foreign-born parents. This is Statistics Norway's definition.
The municipalities are split into five classes with about the same number of municipalities in each (quintiles), calculated by us. The bounds are rounded to one decimal; each class includes its lower bound and not its upper. The colour therefore shows the order of the municipalities, not how large the differences are.
The municipal boundaries are from Kartverket (Administrative units, municipalities, reference date 1 January 2026, CC BY 4.0), simplified to 300 metres for drawing. They carry no figures. Svalbard is not included.
Small municipalities have few residents, so the figures there can swing a lot from year to year. The map shows where the share is high or low, not why.
