Regional Division of Finland (ELY) - 2015 Statistical Data Table
The table presents data pertaining to the ELY areas (Centres for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment) in Finland for the year 2015, at a scale of 1:1,000,000. The data in this table is compiled from the website of the Finnish Statistical Bureau, 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland), offering a wealth of information for various geographical and statistical analyses. The table features numerous columns, each containing specific types of data.
Columns within the table provide geographic details, including geojson, geotext, type, centroid, center x and y coordinates, all of which adhere to the WGS 84 coordinate reference system. These columns contain geographic coordinates represented with longitude first, followed by latitude, making them valuable resources for geospatial data analytics.
For instance, the 'geom_geojson' and 'geom_geotext' columns contain multipolygon geographical data that could be used to map the ELY areas. The 'geom_centroid', 'geom_center_x', and 'geom_center_y' columns contain the coordinates for the center points of these areas, which can be useful for geographical centroid-based clustering analyses or for determining proximity between different regions.
The table contains other columns with information such as the 'ely' code, 'name' in English, 'namn' in Swedish, and 'nimi' in Finnish. These columns are important for multilingual data analyses and region-specific studies.
The table also contains special columns, '_extract_date' and '_row_number'. The '_extract_date' column indicates the date when the data was extracted from the data source, while the '_row_number' column contains the row number in the data extracted from the source on the extract date. These columns serve as unique identifiers for each row in the table.
In the context of data analytics, this table can be utilized for a variety of purposes. For example, it can serve as a basis for visualizing the ELY areas in Finland on a map, or for performing regional comparative analyses using the geographical and statistical data provided. It could also be used in trend analysis to identify changes in the ELY areas over time when compared with similar datasets from other years.
