Geographic data

By means of geographic data you can view statistical data on a map. In addition to statistical data linked to areas, we offer data on statistical areas and their boundaries on a map as geographic data.

Most of the data are openly available. The Grid Database is subject to charge and the municipal sub-area data are available only for separately agreed municipal contact persons.

You can browse open data in Paikkatietoikkuna through the introductory page of each dataset. You need separate software to use open data through the interface.
