The highest education levels, above 40% can, to a large extent, be found in either university cities, or in socio-economically strong municipalities in the main metropolitan areas. At the regional level in some cases the existence of an important university within a rather sparsely populated region positively contributes to a high tertiary education average in those regions. This is the case in Västerbottens län (Umeå) in Sweden and Troms (Tromsø) and Sør-Trøndelag (Trondheim) in Norway. At the national level, all five Nordic countries have a level over 40%. The Faroe Islands (37%), and especially Åland (26%) and Greenland (18%), have significantly lower rates than the five Nordic countries.
