A population may be defined as urban depending on the size (population or area) or population density of the village, town, or city. The urbanization rate then refers to the share of the total population who live in an urban setting. International comparisons may be inconsistent due to differing parameters for what constitutes an urban center.Find more key insights for the share of urban population in countries like Denmark and Sweden.

In 2024, Iceland was the Nordic country with the highest degree of urbanization, with over 80 percent of the population living in cities, towns, or suburbs. It is also the only Nordic country with a higher degree of urbanization than the EU average. Norway is the country with the lowest degree of urbanization, but the share was unusually high between 2021 and 2023, which is probably down to a change in the classification of towns and suburbs, as a municipal reform altered the number and size of municipalities. The reform was revoked at the beginning of 2024.
