This area has a total population of approximately 998,535[2] citizens. The Greater Helsinki area contains several more neighboring cities and has a population of approximately 1,293,093,[2] which means that one out of every four Finns lives in the Greater Helsinki area.

On a personal note, Helsinki is the only city in Finland that has all the needed services that a real city should include in this country. Everything can be found from Helsinki, which is more than can be said about all the other cities in Finland.
