Business Information and Statistics on the Tampere City Region

Tampere region includes Kangasala, Lempäälä, Nokia, Orivesi, Pirkkala, Tampere, Vesilahti, and Ylöjärvi. The purpose is to provide comprehensive information about the vitality of the region’s companies to municipalities, companies, and other stakeholders. A better understanding of the current state of the region’s vitality supports data-driven decision-making. The data and charts offer essential background data and an overview of the municipality’s current situation and development. 

In the data tool, you can examine one or more municipalities at a time or the entire Tampere region. The data is updated through Business Tampere’s Azure data warehouse, where data is collected from various sources via interfaces or separate files. The data is updated at different intervals according to the original data provider’s update period. 

The EVP Index is an area comparison produced by FCG (formerly MDI) with a single summary variable. With interactive Power BI views, one can compare municipalities in the Tampere region to key reference areas and to all municipalities in Finland. On the data service pages, you can compare all municipalities in Finland with each other and examine the annual rankings of the municipalities in the Tampere region in the overall scores of the EVP index. 

The EVP Index consists of two sub-indices: the vitality index and the attractiveness and retention power index. Ten explanatory and comparable variables have been selected for both indices. Thus, both a sub-index and a composite index have been calculated in the index, where municipalities are indexed based on variable-specific averages on a scale of 0 to 100 points (0=weakest, 100=strongest). 

Variables of the vitality index: 

• Median income of income recipients ‘
• Business density
• Employment rate of 34–44-year-olds (%)
• Workplace self-sufficiency rate (%) 
• Economic dependency ratio 
• Job change (%) (open sector) 
• Tax funding €/resident
• Accumulated surplus or deficit €/resident 
• Education level index 
• Morbidity index 

Variables of the attractiveness and retention power index: 

• Population change (%) 
• MDI population forecast (%) 
• Net migration of employed individuals 
• Intensity of internal migrations 
• Completed dwellings 
• Price per square meter of old dwellings (€) 
• Percentage of foreign-background individuals (%) 
• Percentage of students in the population (%) 
• Net migration of 15–34-year-olds 
• Number of summer residents
