Geologically, the region lies in the northern part of Denmark, which is rising because of post-glacial rebound.

The region is subdivided into 11 municipalities: The gross domestic product (GDP) of the region was €26.1 billion in 2018, accounting for 8.7% of Denmark's economic output.

The GDP per capita adjusted for purchasing power was €33,200 or 110% of the EU27 average in the same year.
