Data sources No admin units were available, although detailed data for municipalities, towns and settlements were available from the Statistical Yearbook of Greenland 1997 available at the NSO web site. The 14 largest towns were included as polygons in the coverage. These account for about 80% of the population. The remaining population is distributed over the rest of the country.
