Tilastokeskukselta

Tilastokeskukselta is a Finnish phrase meaning "from Statistics Finland." It is used to indicate the source of data or information in Finnish-language texts, including official reports, press releases, academic articles, and data files. The expression serves as a source attribution, signaling that Statistics Finland supplied or produced the data in question.

Tilastokeskus, or Statistics Finland in English, is Finland’s national statistical authority. It is responsible for producing official statistics on a wide range of topics, such as population, economy, society, and the environment. The agency collects, validates, and publishes data and maintains statistical registers, often in coordination with national and European statistical systems. Its outputs are used by government bodies, businesses, researchers, media, and the public to inform policy, analysis, and decision-making.

In practice, the phrase "Tilastokeskukselta" appears in citations, data tables, and references to attribute data to the source. Examples include phrases like “Tilastokeskukselta saamien tilastojen mukaan” or, in English-language contexts, “data from Statistics Finland.” It helps distinguish Statistics Finland’s official data from information provided by other organizations and is a common feature of Finnish scholarly, journalistic, and governmental materials.
