2016 Coastal Area Postal Codes: An Organized Collection of Geometrical and Demographical Data

The table, which is a part of the dataset 'postialue_pno_meri_2016', gathers comprehensive data relevant to postal areas extending to marine areas in Finland, as sourced from the Finnish Statistics Bureau ('Tilastokeskus'). The data fields in the table can be broadly categorized into three groups: extraction details, geographic data, and postal area specifics.

The extraction details contain two columns, one indicating the date when the data row was extracted, and the other specifying the row number of the data as extracted from the source. These two fields combined uniquely identify each row of data.

The geographic data is represented by a collection of columns that start with 'geom_'. These fields encompass various geospatial data points such as geographic coordinates and geotext, which are presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system with the axis order of longitude followed by latitude. This information can be used for geospatial data analytics, allowing users to visualize the data on a map and explore geographic patterns.

The postal area specifics include a variety of information about each postal area, such as its name, area in square meters, postal area code, and more. It provides rich context about each area that can be valuable for a range of analyses.

Potential applications of the data in this table could be varied. For instance, the geographic data can be used for spatial analysis or cartographic visualization, helping users to identify geographic patterns or trends. The postal area specifics can be used in demographic or socio-economic studies, allowing researchers to examine patterns in postal areas across Finland. Finally, the extraction details can be used for data management and auditing, ensuring the integrity and accuracy of the data.
