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. thousands, 1 January · Statistics Greenland, population in localities on 1 January (BEXSTD), Nuuk town, every age added up, from the civil register, from 1977 · city (Nuuk town) data · as of Sep 2026.
