Data completeness rate

Ideally, the statistics reflects the development of producer prices of all newly constructed dwellings in Denmark. However, at this point, Statistics Denmark only has access to data for newly built free standing one-family houses. Thus, the construction of other types of dwelling, such as terraced houses, multi-storey apartment buildings or vacation houses are not included. Furthermore, all collected data originates from type house constructions, and the statistics is therefore not necessarily representative for construction of unique dwellings.
