It refers to the collection, analysis, and utilization of statistics and data pertaining to the characteristics of a population. This includes a wide range of information such as age, sex, geographical distribution, birth rates, death rates, migration patterns, marital status, education levels, and employment statistics.

The primary source for official väestötietoihn in Finland is Statistics Finland (Tilastokeskus).

In addition to official statistics, väestötietoihn can also encompass information derived from other sources, such as surveys, censuses, and administrative records. The concept is fundamental to demography, sociology, economics, and public administration, providing a quantitative basis for understanding societal trends and changes. The accurate and reliable collection of väestötietoihn is essential for informed decision-making and for addressing the evolving needs of a population.
