Abstract

Using Danish geo‐referenced administrative housing register data, we utilise the Thiessen polygon method to cluster adjacent housing units into 1,961 (macro) Danish residential neighbourhoods with at least 600 households that are delineated by physical barriers, homogenous in terms of housing type and house ownership, compact and have unchanged boundaries over 31 years (1986‐2016). Using the same clustering criteria, we construct 8,359 (micro) Danish residential neighbourhoods with at least 150 households such that around 4 micro‐neighbourhoods constitute a macro‐neighbourhood, which respects the boundaries of the micro‐neighbourhoods. The neighbourhoods can be visualised on a map using the grid of hectare cells.
