Welfare Areas 2024 (Scale 1:4,500,000) - Data Table

The table, part of the dataset collection titled 'tilastointialueet_hyvinvointialue4500k_2024', is a rich source of geographic and wellbeing information projected for the year 2024. It presents a comprehensive view of wellbeing areas in Finland, sourced from the 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland) website. The table contains a variety of columns, each offering unique insights into the areas studied.

For instance, the columns starting with 'geom_' provide geographic data, useful for geospatial analytics. These columns offer information such as the type of geographic shape, the geojson and geotext data, and the center coordinates of the areas. It's important to note that the geographic coordinates are presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with the axis order being longitude first, followed by latitude.

The table also includes columns like 'name', 'namn', and 'nimi' which provide the names of the wellbeing areas in different languages, while the 'hyvinvointialue' column provides a specific code for each area. The 'gml_id' column offers a unique ID for each entry.

Two special columns, '_extract_date' and '_row_number', serve to uniquely identify each row, with the former indicating the date when the data was extracted and the latter specifying the row number in the extracted data.

Given the depth and breadth of data in this table, it can be used in a variety of data analytics applications. For example, the geographic data could be used to create detailed maps showing the distribution of wellbeing areas across Finland. The data could also serve as a basis for trend analysis over time, given the extract dates included. Moreover, multilingual area names could be utilized for research involving cross-language comparisons and international collaboration.
