4.2 Category 1
Miðborg has lost shops and services between 2015 and 2020. The vacancy category should be considered cautiously since no vacancy is reported in the 2015 survey and might not have been taken into account in the database. The increase of the Restaurant and catering category is noteworthy (+27 units).

4.3 Category 2
Category 2 provides a refined perspective on the reconfigurations of the local retailscape.
Categories that have increased are mostly linked to tourism and general entertainment (+ +29 Catering/restaurant, +17 Culture and leasure shops, +14 tourism accommodation). The increase regarding vacancy should be interpreted very cautiously since vacancies were not included in the version 2015 of the database). On the contrary, categories that have decreased are mostly link to shop and services catering to local population (-40 Personal services, -33 apparel and accessories shops, -9 medical practices, -6 health and beauty shops).
