Statistics Iceland revises the boundaries of localities every 5 years in years ending with 0 or 5. The boundaries are found by concatenating addresses in a municipality within 200 m mutual distance. Sports arenas are included if needed. A 400 m zone is drawn around the localities thus found. Minimum population is 50 persons at the time of review. Statistics are published for the whole 5 year period, as well as the next 5 year period even if the population falls below 50. The method of counting the population was revised in March 2024 and the time series updated from 2011 onwards, see details in the report.
