Large Areas 2016: Comprehensive Geographical and Statistical Data (1:1 000 000)

The table is part of a broader dataset collection, focusing on significant regions in Finland during the year 2016, as suggested by its Finnish title 'Suuralueet 2016'. It provides intricate data for each region, captured and extracted at a certain point in time. This table is a rich source of both geographical and demographic data. It houses geographical data such as the type of geographic feature, its centroid, center coordinates in the form of longitude (x) and latitude (y), and its geospatial representation in GeoJSON and GeoText formats. This information can be instrumental in performing geospatial data analytics, especially considering it follows the WGS 84 coordinate reference system (longitude followed by latitude). It also contains demographic data like the region's name in three languages: global (name), Swedish (namn), and Finnish (nimi), along with a unique identifier 'gml_id' and a large area code 'suuralue'. Two special columns, '_extract_date' and '_row_number', capture the date of data extraction and the row number, respectively. Together, they uniquely identify each row. This table can be utilized in various data analytics applications. For instance, one could study population distributions, urban planning, or environmental patterns across different regions of Finland. It could also be used to overlay other datasets, providing a geographic context to phenomena such as economic activity or wildlife movements. The table is sourced from the Finnish 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland) website.
