Municipalities Data (1:1 000 000) - Part of Statistical Areas Dataset
The table, which is part of a larger dataset collection, is a comprehensive compilation of Finnish municipalities data. It is sourced from the 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland) website. The data contained in this table is carefully organized into rows and columns, each with unique and meaningful attributes.
The content of the table can be best described as information about Finnish municipalities at a 1:1 000 000 scale. The columns contain various types of data ranging from basic details to geospatial information. For instance, some columns store the extraction date and row number from the data source, uniquely identifying each row.
Several other columns contain geographical data that represents the municipalities, which can be utilized for geospatial data analytics. This information includes the geometry of each municipality represented in both GeoJSON and Geotext formats, the type of the geometry, and the coordinates of the centroid. It's noteworthy to mention that the geographic coordinates are presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with axis order longitude first, followed by latitude.
In addition to this, the table also comprises columns that store the municipality's ID in the data source, the Finnish name of the municipality, and the year of the data.
This data table can provide valuable insights for various data analytics purposes. For example, the geographical data can be used to create visual maps of the municipalities, which can be crucial for urban planning and development projects. Another way the data could be used is to track the changes in each municipality over time by analyzing the data extracted on different dates. This could assist in identifying growth patterns and predicting future trends.
