See main article: Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics. The Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) is a geocode standard for referencing the administrative division of Denmark for statistical purposes.[1] The standard is developed and regulated by the European Union. The NUTS standard is instrumental in delivering the European Union's Structural Funds. The NUTS code for Denmark is DK and a hierarchy of three levels is established by Eurostat. Below these is a further levels of geographic organisation - the local administrative unit (LAU). In Denmark, the LAU 1 are municipalities and the LAU 2 are regions.
| Level | Subdivisions | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| NUTS 1 | — | 1 | |
| NUTS 2 | Regions (Danish: Regioner) | 5 | |
| NUTS 3 | Provinces (Danish: Landsdele) | 11 |
