The graphics show where Finland is the population of Finland
Finnish|The center of the Finnish population is moving towards the south, slightly west to the west.
The abstract is made by artificial intelligence and checked by man.
The population of Finland is located in Hauho, Hämeenlinna, and moves south and west.
According to Pasi Piela, Statistics Finland, the movement of the centerpiece is guided by immigration and national migration.
The focal point has moved 31 kilometers since 1985 and is unlikely to turn north due to the appeal of Uusimaa.
In the middle Vaholampi from Hämeenlinna is a place near the forest, with 115 kilometers from the nearby road to Helsinki and more than 1,000 kilometers to Inari.
It is Finland’s population focal point – a point that minimizes the distance to the place of residence of each resident.
The focal point tells where the population is emphasized. Currently, many Finns live in the southern and western parts of the country.
The point is on the move.
Its location has been reliably determined since 1985, and to this day the point has been 31 kilometers.
The direction has been mainly southern. Towards the west, the point has been around 4.6 kilometers over forty years.
What Then the center of the Finns move?
« At present, immigration is essential and then there will be a national migration. It is probably useless to talk about birth rate now, » says Pasi PielaDevelopment Manager for the Partner and Ecosystem Relationships of Statistics Finland.
In Finland, the natural population change has been negative for ten years, ie population growth is through immigration.
Since 1995 The focal point has moved to Hauho, Hämeenlinna, where the point has now moved to the border.
From the end of 2023 to the end of 2024, the point has moved south by 871 meters and 151 meters in the west.
The point was fasting, especially from the mid-1990s to the turn of the millennium. According to Piela, the background was the migration accelerated by post -recession economic growth, but also the renewed home municipal law. It caused a strong transition to university cities when students were entitled to log in to their actual community, the study cities.
During the corona After 2020, the point of the point faded again.
« There was a lot of talk about the so -called escape to the countryside. It is also clear that international migration was less, » says Piela.
At that time, it was a stopping development of ongoing development. According to Piela, it does not seem possible for the center to move towards the north.
« Uusimaa is simply so attractive, » Piela says.
Even in Uusimaa, the birth rate is a plus, meaning that people are born more than they die. Unlike, for example, the Turku region, where the population is growing as a result of migration.
