Postal code area

2021 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.
The municipality code (regional division of 1 January 2021) of the postal code area is determined based on the surface area. An area located on the border of two municipalities gets the municipality code with the larger surface area in the area.
