Politare

Disposable income during each mayor's tenure

Every mayor since 1991, ranked by how disposable income changed from their first day in office, next to Greenland over the same months. Politare shows what happened during a tenure; it does not claim the office-holder caused it.

Sorted by total, highest first. Every row is indexed to the last count complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that count had no data, or because the period cut it); Greenland is measured over the same months. Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in %; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. DKK thousand a year per person aged 14 and over, in today's money · Statistics Greenland, income for persons aged 14 and over by locality (INXPI103): the average disposable income (income after tax) over every person, Nuuk town, yearly from 2002, adjusted for inflation with Statistics Greenland's consumer price index · city (Nuuk town's residents) data · as of Sep 2026.
