Population:
Data on educational structure concern people aged 18 or over. Only one type of education has been taken into account for each person, i.e. the highest qualification acquired or the latest acquired qualification if a person has several same level qualifications. Where a person has completed the matriculation examination and a lower-level vocational qualification, the education is determined by the vocational qualification.
NB. Qualifications at the lowest level tertiary education are now classified together with lower university level degrees. Previously they were included among vocational diplomas. Data protection:
Data on educational structure are confidential if there are fewer than 30 people aged 18 or over in the area. The value in confidential fields is '...'.

Postal code area

2024 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 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 Digital and Population Data Services Agency, Population Information System, Register of Buildings and Dwellings). The postal codes of individual addresses do not form areas, so the source data have been generalized to create the postal code areas. The statistical postal code area of a building is not always the same as the postal code of the address of that building. The boundary of the postal code area is mainly located midway between two buildings with different postal codes. The accuracy of the limitation of the location is higher where there are more buildings (e.g. densely populated areas).
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. Statistics produced with postal code area classifications from different years are not comparable.
The municipality code (regional division of 1 January 2024) of the postal code area is determined based on the surface area. An area located on the border of several municipalities gets the municipality code with the larger surface area in the area.
