Housing construction in the kommune, last 8 quarters vs Norway

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-wide totals of dwellings (all building types), not activity near the address: a busy kommune says nothing about the street.
- SSB suppresses some small cells, so a small kommune's totals can read low, never high, and its trend is noisy. The trend compares the last four quarters with the four before, for the kommune and for Norway over the same quarters.
Fields
8 of 16 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.
