Postal code area

2020 postal code areas
Paavo postal code areas (statistical postal code areas) have been produced at Statistics Finland for statistics production by postal code area. The data are produced as two types of geometrics: for statistical production extended to sea areas and for map visualisation cut with the coastline. The limitation has been made using geographic information methods. The basis of the limitation is the postal code of the address of a building (data source the Population Information System; Register of Buildings and Dwellings). The postal codes of individual addresses do not form the areas, so the source data have been generalised to form the postal code areas. The boundary of the postal code area is mainly located in the middle of the location of a building with two different postal codes. The accuracy of the limitation of the location is higher where there are more buildings (e.g. densely populated areas). The National Land Survey of Finland's 1:1 million map data have been used to form the coastline.
The data are maintained annually for new and abolished postal code areas (in accordance with the Population Information System's data) and they are released annually in January.

Information

Households, total, 2017 (TR)

Households, total is the number of households who are living in the area. This is the radix of the data group.

Average income of households, 2017 (TR)

Average income of households (eur) is the average annual disposable monetary income of households.

Median income of households, 2017 (TR)

Median income of households (eur) is obtained by listing households by the amount of disposable monetary income. Median income is the income of the middle household. An equal number of households remain on both sides of the middle household.

Households belonging to the lowest income category, 2017 (TR)

Households earning at most EUR 16 979 per year (deciles 1-2). Income categories are formed by using deciles. The deciles are formed by listing all persons included in the dwelling population in order based on their equivalent disposable monetary income and dividing them to ten shares that contain an equal amount of persons. Equivalent income is an income concept by which incomes of households of different types are made comparable by taking account of shared consumption benefits.
Equivalent income = the household's income divided by the number of consumption units in the household.
From 2002 the income distribution statistics have used the OECD's adjusted consumption unit scale recommended by Eurostat, the Statistical Office of the European Communities, where
- the first adult of the household receives the weight 1
- other over 13-year-olds receive the weight 0.5
- children receive the weight 0.3 (0 to 13-year-olds are defined as children)
The assumption is that income is evenly distributed inside the household between all household members in relation to the above-mentioned consumption need.

Households belonging to the middle income category, 2017 (TR)
