pp means percentage points: a share rising from 1.0% to 1.2% increases by 0.2 pp. Registered mother tongues are not nationality or citizenship. Language counts and shares use the same language dataset and reference year. Source: Statistics Finland · Table 11rm · Source updated: 4/1/2026
Growth is the change in residents, not the number of people moving in. Language means registered mother tongue, not every language a person speaks. Missing or withheld values are not zero.
Browse published services. Directory counts do not measure service quality or availability.
Current PTV listings covering each municipality, including regional and nationwide services. These are directory entries, not a count of facilities or a quality rating. The reference year above does not apply.
Directory snapshot: 10/11/2026
All figures use the 2026 municipality classification. Earlier years describe those boundaries, not necessarily the municipalities as they existed then.
Age shares are published percentages. We do not convert rounded shares into estimated people counts. Language shares use the total from their own snapshot.
Percentages are rounded to one decimal for display; source precision is retained in storage.
