Socio-economic and mortality analyses were conducted at a small
area-level within each city. The maps of Helsinki represent 94 Statistical Wards. Data from the 2000 - 2009 National Registers were used to obtain the population
size per small area.
Small areas with 1000 inhabitants or less were combined with neighbouring areas for confidentiality purposes. Small areas located in Southern Helsinki that consist mainly of islands, including the military island of Santahamina, are sparsely populated and thus were excluded from the analysis. The INEQ-CITIES research of Helsinki is based on these figures.
The table below shows the estimated population size per Statistical Ward by first, second (median) and third quartiles, based on the 2004 figures from Statistics Finland.
