Data protection

The data in the Grid Database is protected. Data protection is identical for the 250 m and the 1 km grid squares. Although the data in the grid square is protected, the sum of the total population is given (e.g. total number of households, total number of workplaces).

The data protection for each variable can be found in the description documents.

Demo material

You can acquaint yourself with the Grid Database by ordering demo material containing data of Jyväskylä city (statistical reference points of time 2005-2007). At the moment the demo material is only available in the uniform national coordinate system.
