It is anchored by OBS Coop (hypermarket), two hardware chains — OBS Bygg and Montér — XXL (sport), and Würth (industrial and MRO supply) across a single Regional-tier co-location cluster. Oslo sits 34.6 kilometres away by straight-line distance under the framework's continental reference-point set, the closest of Norway's nine current reference distances. The market carries European Regional Market classification under the co-location screening framework's composition gate. ## Overview Ullensaker recorded 43,814 residents in 2023, in the Romerike region north of Oslo. <!-- wikipedia-sourced: population/description --> The municipality hosts Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, Norway's largest international airport, which has driven substantial population growth around its administrative centre, Jessheim. Ullensaker is also home to Raknehaugen, the largest burial mound in the Nordic countries, radiocarbon-dated to roughly 550 CE. ## Anchor Composition The market's single cluster spans 1.7 kilometres and combines OBS Coop (hypermarket, comparable to Walmart or Kroger) with two hardware chains, OBS Bygg and Montér (comparable to Home Depot or Lowe's), XXL (sport), and Würth (industrial and MRO supply, comparable to Grainger). Civic weight comes from two medical facilities within the cluster: Ahus Gardermoen, a satellite of Akershus University Hospital, and Lovisenberg Rehabilitering AS, a rehabilitation clinic. No university anchor is recorded here. ## Regional Market Standing | Field | Value | |---|---| | Metropolitan reference point | Oslo | | Distance (straight-line) | 34.6 km | | Co-location clusters | 1 Regional-tier | | Catchment population | Not yet computed for this cluster | The distance above is a straight-line (crow-flies) measurement to the nearest major metropolitan reference point, not a drive-time or commuting estimate. Catchment population has not yet been computed for Ullensaker's cluster in the current dataset build; Norway is one of six European countries without this figure in the 2026-08-07 release, alongside Bulgaria, Croatia, Finland, Romania, and Sweden. See [[atlas-top-400-europe|Top 400 Regional Markets — Europe]] for the full Top 400 set and [[co-location-methodology|Co-location Methodology]] for how markets qualify. ## AEC Data Cluster-level climate, seismic, and wildfire-hazard data has not yet been computed for Ullensaker's cluster in the current GIS dataset build. This section will populate once that coverage extends here; see [[gis-data-overview|GIS Data Overview]] for the AEC data pipeline. ## See Also - [[atlas-norway|Norway Regional Market Index]] - [[atlas-top-400-europe|Top 400 Regional Markets — Europe]] - [[about-regional-markets-system|Regional Markets Intelligence System]] - [[co-location-methodology|Co-location Methodology]] ## References - [Ullensaker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ullensaker) — Wikipedia, accessed 2026-08-25 *Wikipedia content reproduced under [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/).*
