Changes to database tables on Dwellings and housing conditions (11 June 2021)

Statistics: Dwellings and housing conditions
Date of change: 20 May 2021
Change:

In connection with the publication of data for 2020, the database tables on Dwellings and housing conditions have adopted the Classification of Buildings 2018, and a new classification for type of building is introduced similarly:

  • One-dwelling and two-dwelling houses (Classes 0110 One-dwelling houses and 0111 Two-dwelling houses)
  • Terraced houses (Class 0112 Terraced houses)
  • Blocks of flats (Classes 0120 Low-rise blocks of flats and 0121 Residential blocks of flats)
  • Other buildings (Dwellings in other classes of buildings)

The new classification for type of building is applied to the database tables on Dwellings and housing conditions from statistical year 2005 onwards.

Other detached and semi-detached houses (Class 013 in the old classification of buildings) are classified as One-dwelling and two-dwelling houses in database table 116a prior to statistical year 2005. From statistical year 2005 onwards, they are classified as Terraced houses or Low-rise blocks of flats depending on their characteristics information.

Changes to database tables on Buildings and free-time residences (7 June 2021)

Statistics: Buildings and free-time residences
Date of change: 27 May 2021
Change:

In connection with the publication of data for 2020, the Statistics on Buildings and free-time residences have adopted the Classification of Buildings 2018.

The biggest changes in the database tables regarding the building stock (116g, 116h, 116i) are that rental holiday cottages have moved from commercial and office buildings to free-time residential buildings and residences for communities and dwellings for special groups have moved to residential buildings. The changes in classification have reduced the number of buildings in the building stock in comparison to the previous statistical reference year. The changes have been applied to the whole timeseries reaching from 2005 to 2020 in database table 116i.

The changes cause a break in time series in the database table regarding the stock of free-time residential buildings. The stock of free-time residential buildings (table 116j) is generated from the class 021 (Free-time residences) starting from the statistical reference year 2020. From that point onwards the detached houses that have been reported to be in leisure-time use are no longer included in the statistics as free-time residential buildings and rental holiday cottages earlier classified as commercial buildings are included instead.

Publication of Labour Force Survey database tables in the early part of 2021 (12 January 2021)

The data content, data collection and estimation method of the Labour Force Survey will be revised at the beginning of 2021, which will also cause changes to the publication of database tables.

Only the key indicators concerning the labour market are published from the data for January and February 2021 solely on the statistics pages of the Labour Force Survey, and trend figures are not published. The data concerning January and February are preliminary and they may later be revised due to the review of the estimation method. For this reason, data concerning January and February 2021 are not entered into Statistics Finland's free StatFin database or the chargeable Astika database. The data of the Labour Force Survey for the early part of 2021 are used for the estimation analysis and retrospective correction of the time series.

The database tables of the Labour Force Survey for January and February 2021 will be published in connection with the completion of the data for March during May after the release date, 4 May. The publication schedule of the database tables for the first quarter of 2021 will be specified during the early part of the year.

How and why is the Labour Force Survey renewed?
