Emil Karlson is renting an apartment in Maridalsveien 4, Oslo in 1905:

Brukslenke for sidevisning: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/of20130903031798
 

He is here noted as norwegian and born in Norway. In several of the above mentioned sources he is born in Norway. Maybe his parents were swedish?

[Leif Erik Otterå]

And here he is at the same address in February 1907, three month before emigration:

Brukslenke for sidevisning: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/of20130423139740
 

Here he is also noted as born in Norway, but came from Wärmland (Sweden) Sept 21, 1904 (on his 19th birthday). So he must at least have lived some time during his childhood in Sweden.

Thank you all very much for your information. I have much of this, and I appreciate the additional information from the 1905 and 1907 Oslo censuses. What is interesting about the house in Oslo where he was a lodger 1904-1907 is the family name of the homeowners: Folstad. Perhaps it was a common name. My paternal grandmother's mother (my paternal great-grandmother) was a Folstad from Nord Trondelog, from the parish of Vestvik. Yes, he did emigrate in 1907, and yes, he was married to Mary Christiansen/Kristiansen of Trondheim in Tacoma, Washington in 1911. 

[Stine H Kvistad]

He is in Sweden with his maternal grandparents in 1900, Nils Persson + Hedda Olsdotter

[Linda Carlson]

Yes, thank you! I have just found this myself. But I cannot find Nils Persson and Hedda together in other censuses. I found a Nils Persson in the 1880 census (record 7) who was widowed. If that was "my" Nils Persson, perhaps he was widowed at the time of the 1880 census and later married Hedda.

Thank you! I am unsure that this is "my" Hedda. See attached information from 1890 census. It shows Hedda's birth year as 1828 and her birth place as Kola.

Ann-Mary and Stine, thank you both. If Emil Karlson's parents were unwed, this is one possible reason he lived with his grandparents.

 

Now, with the help of you all, I have found that Emil's mother was living in Oslo in 1900, at the same address where he would be found at least by 1904.  The census report is in two pieces due to its length.
