Statistics Denmark relies heavily on public registers for statistical production, with a particular emphasis on the Central Person Register for population statistics.[5]
Statistics Denmark's electronic data bank (Statbank.dk) is available freely in Danish or English to any user.[6][7] It contains nearly all in-house produced statistics, which can be presented as cross-tables, diagrams, or maps, and can be exported to other programs for further analysis.[8] When new general statistics are published in News from Statistics Denmark, the same data is simultaneously released in a more detailed format through the data bank.[9]
