    EVP Index

    Business Tampere offers users the EVP Index which can be used to compare the livelihood, attractiveness, and retention strength of different areas. The EVP Index is an area comparison produced by 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.

    The EVP Index examines both the livelihood and the attractiveness and retention power of areas simultaneously. The purpose of the index is to provide a comprehensive view of the development situation, livelihood, attractiveness and retention power of a municipality or the Tampere region as a whole in one view. The EVP Index enables us to examine changes occurring in the chosen areas and their effects on the livelihood of these areas.

    The EVP Index consists of two sub-indices: the livelihood 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 livelihood 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 metre 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
