Statistical processing
The Rent indices for housing are based on a sample of privately owned rented dwellings, social rental housing and cooperative dwellings. The rent development for the social rental housing is based on administrative data from The National Bulding Fund (Landsbyggefonden) and thus covers the entire population of social rental housing. Privately owned rented dwellings is covered by a sample of approx. 110.000 dwellings out of a population of approx. 500.000 privately owned rented dwellings. Cooperative dwellings is covered by a sample of approx. 600 dwellings. Social rental housing and private rental housing each amount to almost half of the total rental housing market whereas cooperative dwellings account for approx. 10 per cent.

However, for social housing, the statistics are based on the population of social housing, which is why there is no uncertainty here. For the private rental homes, the sample consists of approx. 110,000 rental homes out of a population of approx. 500,000 rental housing, so here there is limited sample uncertainty. Cooperative dwellings are covered by a sample of approx. 600 dwellings, so here there is sample uncertainty.
