ELY Areas Forecast for 2023 (Scale 1:4,500,000)
Click here for a data sample
The table in focus contains detailed information about the ELY areas for the year 2023, as indicated by its source, the Finnish statistical authority 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland). The data within the table provides a rich dataset, capturing various aspects of the ELY areas, including unique identifiers, names in multiple languages, and geographic details. The geographic details are particularly notable, as they are provided in various forms, such as GeoJSON and GeoText formats, along with centroid points and center coordinates, following the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with axis order longitude first, followed by latitude. The diversity of geographic data makes the table well-suited for geospatial data analytics, such as mapping ELY areas, identifying central points of these areas, or studying their shapes and boundaries. The table also captures the date of data extraction and the row number from the source data, forming a unique identifier for each row. This could be useful in tracking data changes over time, managing data quality, and ensuring data integrity. Finally, the table includes names of the ELY areas in various languages, which could be useful in multilingual data analytics, or in studies comparing linguistic variations in place names across Finland.
