What this does not say
Quoted verbatim from the section’s warnings field, exactly as the API returns it. They are not translated: a translation would show something other than what your response actually contains.
- Kommune-level household composition (SSB 06070: private households by type) and persons 67-79 and 80+ living alone (SSB 06844), latest published year. Elderly living alone is the strongest single predictor of fire deaths in DSB's analyses; shares are of all households in the kommune and of all persons in the age band, with the Norway figure next to them. Not a fact about this household.
Fields
18 of 23 fields are value fields — the ones that decide whether a record actually says anything. The rest are context: identifiers, codes and timestamps. Fields marked “open” return values to anonymous callers; the rest require a key.
