  1. Notes. *Population and sample frequencies visualize the representation of the six prioritized districts (Alna, Gamle Oslo, Bjerke, Grorud, Søndre Nordstrand and Stovner)
  2. *Due to different categories at Norway’s statistical office (“Statistikkbanken”), the education variable in the survey was collapsed to match and compare categories
  3. *Only average income per districts was available at Norway’s statistical office. Therefore, no comparison with the survey categories could be made
