Statement

In a register-based census data are retrieved from several statistical registers that are operated continuously. Methodologies applied are documented for each statistical register, but there exist no specific census methodology reports.Administrative dataCensus data are collected from several statistical register kept in Statistics Norway. These are permanent registers, and data validation is integrated in the maintenance of these register. The procedures used for validation may vary between the register systems, but some basic principles are applied. All data retrieved from administrative registers are checked for completeness and internal consistency. When data from several sources are combined, procedures have been established to ensure consistent statistical data. In some register systems it has been necessary to establish comprehensive procedures to achieve this goal. For example, in the statistical labour market register, the system comprises modules for consistency management between various data sources (jobs, self-employment and unemployment), selection of main job and classification by employment in the reference week.

Furthermore, register-based data are validated by comparing with data from statistical surveys, for instance the Labour Force Survey, household surveys and surveys on housing conditions. Comparisons are carried out both on macro and micro level.In production of census statistics it has been ensured that census data is consistent with the corresponding data in statistics published by subject matter statistics.There are no particular reasons for data unreliability for this topic. However, it should be noticed that registered residence is reported as a substitute for usual residence.According to The Norwegian Statistics Act, Article 7, information collected in accordance with any prescribed obligation to provide information, or which is given voluntarily, shall under no circumstances be published in such a way that it can be traced back to the supplier of any data or to any other identifiable individual to the detriment of the person concerned.The data is protected by a special variant of the rounding method implemented in the R package SmallCountRounding. More precisely, the data was first aggregated into an inner frequency table where all geographic variables and information variables are crossed. One geographic variable is the IDs of the INSPIRE 1 km squares. In addition, other grid systems were treated simultaneously. This resulting data set was extended with random zero frequencies using advanced possibilities of the Extend0 function in the SSBtools R package. The rounding method changes these inner frequencies, and all the output tables are generated from the resulting inner table. This ensures additivity and consistency. The rounding method was run with an option (forceInner = TRUE) so that all inner cells were rounded with 3 as the rounding base. Another option (zeroCandidates = TRUE) ensured that zeros were allowed to be rounded up to 3. The frequencies that are selected to be rounded up are selected based on an advanced algorithm (implemented in SmallCountRounding) that prevents large deviations in all the tables to be published.
