ResSegr Mapping of Segregation Indicators

The following interactive maps were generated in the research project
"Residential segregation in five European countries. A comparative study using individualized scalable neighborhoods"

The Technical Report documenting the processes that have led to the making of the
harmonized multi-country datasets with segregation indicators, describes the national datasets including geographical coordinate systems, the definition of indicators and a description of the software used to produce the data. The report also pays attention to the various ethical and privacy considerations that were considered in the creation of the dataset so that privacy of individuals is protected. The Technical Report is available at

The data was generated by researchers at Stockholm University (Department of Human Geography), the University of Oslo (Department of Sociology and Human Geography), Statistics Denmark, the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute and the Vrije Universiteit Brussels (Interface Demography). Funding was granted by the Joint Programme Initiative Urban Europe.

The interactive maps are available for Sweden and Denmark for 4 k-levels: 400, 1600, 6400 and 51200,and for Norway for 3 k-levels: 1600, 6400 and 51200, and for the 5 indicators listed below. All data pertain to the year 2011.

You are free to refer to the interactive maps on this website. It is not possible to download the underlying data. When referring to the maps, please refer to:

Important note:
The data that you can access from this page is distributed via a server that acts as a project test-bed and should NOT be considered as a production solution! No pre-caching (or any other optimization) is undertaken which means that "first-time" access to datasets at a certain zoom-level might be slow until caching is performed (be patient and let layers load before clicking wildly to reload - caching will be done automatically which means that when you or anyone else requests the same data the response will be significantly faster).
