But mobility is about where you can actually get to, not about routes or spending.

So we built one comparable mobility grade, showing how freely you can move, with and without a car.
The grade, A to G
- A
- 70–100
- B
- 55–70
- C
- 45–55
- D
- 30–45
- E
- 22–30
- F
- 15–22
- G
- 0–15
1.42 million Danes live somewhere the car is not a choice. 29 of 98 municipalities are graded E, F or G.
In the lowest bands, walking and public transport cover only a small part of everyday life, and the car is effectively necessary.
Rural municipalities have the country's weakest public transport. The capital area's population-weighted mean is 80.1 out of 100. Rural municipalities score 25.2, a difference of 3.2 times.

- Other municipalities (67)
The people least able to drive themselves live where there is almost no bus.
The ten municipalities ageing fastest towards 2035 all sit at grade D or worse.

Under every transport authority the same pattern repeats: a city with a high score, a hinterland far below it.
In Midtjylland, Aarhus scores 68.6, the other 18 municipalities 30.0 on average. The same picture holds at Movia, FynBus, NT and Sydtrafik.
Zoom all the way in and the pattern is still there. Most municipalities contain their own best and worst place.
Randers is split sharply down the middle: 57.6 percent of residents live in low-scoring cells and 42.4 percent in high-scoring cells.
