Finnish postal code areas, ranked
Every one of Finland's ~3,018 postal code areas, ordered by the measures below, from Statistics Finland open data. Each list runs from the highest value down, so rank 1 is the largest figure — which for unemployment means the worst area, not the best. A rank is a position, not a verdict.
A postal code area is a postal delivery zone, not a neighbourhood, and these figures describe the people recorded as living in one. Area names stay in Finnish because that is what they are called. Full per-metric lists are in Finnish; the top of each is below.

- How many postal code areas does Finland have?
- About 3,018 have published statistics, across 308 municipalities. Areas with too few residents are withheld by Statistics Finland to protect privacy, so they carry no figures rather than a zero.
