Østfold grows fastest
The population of Norway grew with 2 800 persons in the 3rd quarter of 2000. With exception for the three northernmost, all counties had a population increase. Most of the total growth can be ascribed to the counties lying in the south-east of Norway and the Oslofjord region, while North Norway's population was reduced by approximately 900.
