| Summary: | A comparison of municipalities and residential differentiation in two cities. Fennia 180: 1–2, pp. 141–149. Helsinki. ISSN 0015-0010. Differences in well-being are examined at two regional levels. First, variations in well-being are studied based on municipal statistics by three indices that represent different aspects of life. The examination shows that the most prob-lematic areas are in eastern and northern Finland. Second, residential differ-entiation is examined in two metropolitan areas, Helsinki and Tampere, through two variables: families with children and residents with university education. Metropolitan Helsinki is divided into socially distinctive residential areas. Low levels of education and the threat of unemployment concentrate in the north-ern and eastern parts of the city. Such clear socio-economic differentiation cannot be found in Metropolitan Tampere. |
