2013 Municipalities Spatial Distribution at 1:1 000 000 Scale
The table, sourced from the 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland) website, is part of a larger dataset collection. It contains a wealth of information specifically related to the municipalities in Finland for the year 2013. Each row in the table represents a unique data extraction event, identified by a specific extraction date and a row number. This allows for very precise tracking and identification of the data.
The table includes a variety of geographical information, such as geospatial data in the form of MultiPolygon structures, geographic centroids, and the X and Y coordinates of the center of these geographic shapes. This geospatial data is presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with the longitude given first, followed by the latitude.
In addition, the table hosts a set of columns containing information about the municipality, including its name in multiple languages and a unique identifier. The table also includes a column indicating the year of the data, which in this case is 2013.
This table could be incredibly valuable in data analytics. For instance, the geospatial data could be used to perform location-based analyses, such as identifying patterns or trends across different municipalities. The data could also be used to examine changes over time, given the unique identifiers and time-stamped extraction data. Furthermore, the multilingual municipality names could be beneficial for international research or studies targeting multilingual populations.
