Regional statisticsHere you find information about regional and local statistics from our entire range of subject areas.
We describe regional divisions with lists of codes and names, and in many cases also on maps.
Our Market Profile System lets you order statistics for many different geographical areas. We can provide digital boundaries for processing data in Geographical Information Systems (GIS).
However, only a few web pages have been translated into English (marked with  ).
