Reference for Danish figures[rediger kildetekst]

Hej,

Sorry, my danish skills are not good enough for me to ask the question, I am mainly a contributor of french Wikipedia. I have a question concerning the number of inhabitants in Århus. An anonymous IP recently updtated this number to 296.368 in english and french pages (and maybe others), but the danish page refers to 295.513.

The numbers are only slightly different, but I'd like to know which one is exact. Is there a institution with a website (even in danish) which could serve as a reference for that kind of figures ? It may also be very useful for others articles since I work on Denmark portal.

Thanks for your help, Romain 25. nov 2006 kl. 16:34 (CET)

Hello, Romain. The one I'd normally use is the official Danmarks Statistik (here is the English site, click Population and elections to find the population figures). The latest numbers I found (from 2004) were 293.510 for the Municipality of Århus (Århus Kommune) and 228.547 for the City of Århus (Århus By). --Heje 25. nov 2006 kl. 17:01 (CET)
Tak ! Det er, som jeg mangler :o) Romain 25. nov 2006 kl. 17:50 (CET)
I have found this for Aarhus, it is more recent. It is quite ridiculous to bother with that in that case, but I wonder if one should replace an unsourced figure with a sourced but older one... Romain 25. nov 2006 kl. 18:54 (CET)
The newer value you found has the same source (Danmarks Statistik) :-) --Martin Manscher 25. nov 2006 kl. 21:34 (CET)
