The Finland population density map shows the number of inhabitants in relation to Finland size. This demographic map of Finland will allow you to know demography and structure of the population of Finland in Northern Europe. The Finland density map is downloadable in PDF, printable and free.

Finland numbers some 5.4 million and has an average population density of 17 inhabitants per square kilometre as you can see in Finland population density map. This makes it the third most sparsely populated country in Europe, after Iceland and Norway. Population distribution is very uneven: the population is concentrated on the small southwestern coastal plain. About 64% live in towns and cities, with one million living in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area alone. In Arctic Lapland, on the other hand, there are only 2 people to every square kilometre. The country is ethnically homogeneous, the dominant ethnicity being Finnish people. The official languages are Finnish and Swedish, the latter being the native language of about five per cent of the Finnish population. From the 13th to the early 19th century Finland was a part of the Kingdom of Sweden. The Swedish-speakers are known as Swedish-speaking Finns (finlandssvenskar in Swedish, suomenruotsalaiset in Finnish).

There are about 5.5 million inhabitants in Finland. The land area is 338 000 square kilometers as its shown in Finland population density map. The average population density is 18 inhabitants per km2. However, it varies a lot; from 0,2 in some areas in the north to almost 3 000 in Helsinki, the capital. The population is mainly concentrated in the south of the country, particularly in the Helsinki metropolitan area. The area accounts for about 27 % of the entire population, approximately 1.5 million people. In all, in Finland there are nine cities with more than 100 000 inhabitants. One of the key challenges for the society in future is adapting to demographic changes, particularly the aging of the population. The proportion of the working-age population is decreasing and a shortage of labour is foreseen. According to the population forecast of Statistics Finland the Finnish population is projected to turn to a decline in 2031. The latest population projection by Statistic Finland has predicted that in 2050, the population will be approximately 100 000 lower than now days.

As of 1 January 2022, the population of Finland was estimated to be 5,591,854 people. This is an increase of 0.50 % (27,765 people) compared to population of 5,564,089 the year before. In 2021 the natural increase was positive, as the number of births exceeded the number of deaths by 5,787. Due to external migration, the population increased by 21,978 as its mentioned in Finland population density map. The sex ratio of the total population was 0.964 (964 males per 1,000 females) which is lower than global sex ratio. The global sex ratio in the world was approximately 1,016 males to 1,000 females as of 2021. Finland population density is 16.5 people per square kilometer (42.8/mi2) as of March 2022. Density of population is calculated as permanently settled population of Finland divided by total area of the country.
