Vintage:	2022
Data:	© Michael Bauer Research GmbH 2023 based on © Statistics Greenland, UN.
Boundaries:	© Michael Bauer Research GmbH, Nuremberg, Germany, 2022. Data source for Digital Boundaries: 2022 Michael Bauer Research GmbH contains © the dataset "The coast lines of Greenland" by The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS). GEUS does not assume any liability in respect to the consequences of the Customer's use of the coast line data.

Settlement Points:	These settlement points were created using 2023 OpenStreetMap (OSM) Building Footprints. More information about the data can be found at https://www.openstreetmap.org. The buildings were constrained to include only residential housing units. The buildings were verified and improved upon using the latest Esri imagery and HERE (Esri StreetMap Premium Layers (LandArea, BuiltUpArea)). When necessary, household values were distributed evenly onto multiunit residential buildings using a top-down approach with the Michael Bauer Research household values from the lowest level geographies.
