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
