Datasets in geofi-package
geofi-package
provides access to multiple dataset of different types and for different
use. In this vignette we introduce the different datas and explain their
use cases. Vignette Making maps using
geofi-package provides multiple real-world examples of
their usage.
Packages installation
geofi can be installed from CRAN using
# install from CRAN
install.packages("geofi")
# Install development version from GitHub
remotes::install_github("ropengov/geofi")Municipality keys
Official administrative regions in Finland are based on
municipalities. In 2021 there are 309 municipalities in Finland and the
number is decreasing over time through mergers.
Each municipality belongs to a higher level regional classifications
such as regions (maakunta) or health care districts (sairaanhoitopiiri).
municipality_key_-datasets are based on Statistics Finland
Statistical
classification -api with few modification and provided on yearly
basis.

default, meaning that data returned by get_municipality()
can be aggregated as it is.
Spatial data
Spatial data is provided as administrative regions (polygons), population and statistical grids (polygons) and municipality centers (points).
Municipality borders
Municipality borders are provided yearly from 2013 and in two scales
1: 1 000 000 and 1:4 500 000. Use 1000 or 4500
as value for scale-argument, respectively.
municipalities <- get_municipalities(year = 2023, scale = 4500)
plot(municipalities["municipality_name_fi"], border = NA)
Municipality borders with population
In 2022 a new data source is introduced that provides you municipality borders with municipality population data. Spatial data is provided in 1:4 500 000 scale.
Calling the function with year = 2019 returns population data from 2019-12-31 with spatial data on borders from 2020.
The statistical variables in the data are: total population (vaesto), share of the total population (vaesto_p), number of men (miehet), men’s share of the population in an area (miehet_p) and women (naiset), women’s share (naiset_p), those aged under 15: number (ika_0_14), share (ika_0_14p), those aged 15 to 64: number (ika_15_64), share (ika_15_64p), and aged 65 or over: number (ika_65_), share (ika_65_p).
To plot men’s share at the municipality level in 2020 (2021 municipality borders) you can simply to this.
Aggregating the absolute population numbers is straightforward: to plot population at Wellbeing service county level you can do.
get_municipality_pop(year = 2022) %>%
group_by(hyvinvointialue_name_fi) %>%
summarise(vaesto = sum(vaesto)) %>%
select(vaesto) %>%
plot()
To plot the men’s share at wellbeing service country level you have to add one more step
get_municipality_pop(year = 2022) %>%
dplyr::group_by(hyvinvointialue_name_fi) %>%
summarise(vaesto = sum(vaesto),
miehet = sum(miehet)) %>%
mutate(share = miehet/vaesto*100) %>%
select(share) %>%
plot()
Zipcodes
Zipcodes are provided in a single resolution from 2015.
Statistical grid
Grid net for statistics both in 1 km x 1 km and 5 km x 5km covers whole of Finland. The grid net includes all grid squares in Finland.
Statistics Finland proprietary grid database provides the attribute statistical data for these grid nets.
stat_grid <- get_statistical_grid(resolution = 5, auxiliary_data = TRUE)
plot(stat_grid["euref_x"], border = NA)
Population grid
Number of population by both 1 km x 1 km and 5 km x 5 km grids. The number of population on the last day of the reference year (31 December) by age group. Data includes only inhabited grids. The statistical variables of the data are:
Total population (vaesto), number of men
(miehet) and women (naiset), under 15 year
olds (ika_0_14), 15-64 year olds (ika_15_64),
and aged over 65 (ika_65_). Only the number of population
is reported for grids of under 10 inhabitants. See Population
grid data.
The data describes the population distribution independent of administrative areas (such as municipal borders). The data is suitable for examination of population distribution and making various spatial analysis.
Central localities of municipalities
National Land Survey of Finland maintains Topological Database that contains a wide range of layers from which you can access the locations of central localities of each municipality in Finland.
Custom geofacet grid data
From Ryan Hafen’s blog:
The geofacet package extends ggplot2 in a way that makes it easy to create geographically faceted visualizations in R. To geofacet is to take data representing different geographic entities and apply a visualization method to the data for each entity, with the resulting set of visualizations being laid out in a grid that mimics the original geographic topology as closely as possible.
geofi-package contains custom grids to be used with
various Finnish administrative breakdowns as listed below.
d <- data(package = "geofi")
as_tibble(d$results) %>%
select(Item,Title) %>%
filter(grepl("grid", Item)) %>%

pulled from THL from 2000 to 2022, then aggregated at the levels of
regions (maakunta) and then plotted with ggplot2 using grid
geofi::grid_maakunta. Population data is provided as part
of geofi package as geofi::sotkadata_population.
# Let pull population data from THL
sotkadata <- geofi::sotkadata_population
# lets aggregate population data
dat <- left_join(geofi::municipality_key_2023 %>% select(-year),
sotkadata) %>%
group_by(maakunta_code, maakunta_name_fi,year) %>%
