Denmark has the shortest median reference distance of any Nordic entry in the set at 57 kilometres, and 10 of its 11 markets sit within 80 kilometres of their reference point. ## Coverage No rank or score is published for any market in this table. Every market below qualifies under the framework's Regional Market composition gate — a hypermarket anchor paired with at least two of {hardware, price club, lifestyle, electronics, sport} across the market's co-location clusters. Full methodology: [[about-regional-markets-system|Regional Markets Intelligence System]]. The metropolitan reference point recorded for each market is the nearest major metropolitan centre in the framework's continental reference set — a straight-line (crow-flies) distance measurement, not a drive-time or commuting estimate. It is not a claim that the market functions as a commuter suburb of that centre. Every one of Denmark's 11 reference points sits within Denmark itself — Odense for five entries, Aarhus for three, Copenhagen for two, and Aalborg for one. No Danish market references a metropolitan centre across a border, though Danish centres serve as reference points for three Swedish markets in the same set. Denmark's qualifying pool is 26 markets against 11 published, a deep reserve relative to the size of its published entry. Catchment population is recorded for 1 of the 11 Danish markets in the current dataset build, and absent for the rest. Consumer-spend coverage matches it market for market. These are disclosed gaps in the underlying source data; a market without a figure is stated as such rather than presented as zero. ## Cluster composition The 11 markets carry 15 co-location clusters between them — 11 Tier 1 and four Tier 2. No Danish market carries a Tier 3 cluster at all, and every one carries at least one Tier 1 cluster. Randers and Esbjerg each pair a Tier 1 cluster with two Tier 2 clusters, the richest compositions in the Danish set. ## Markets This table is a country-specific view of the continental [[atlas-top-400-europe|Top 400 Regional Markets — Europe]] set.
