Census results in statistics map application
Today, on 5 March, Statistics Estonia launched an Internet-based map application, which enables to create thematic maps and perform spatial queries based on the results of the 2011 Population and Housing Census (PHC).
The statistics map application is for all those interested in geo-referenced statistics. The map application enables users to create thematic maps for editing and printing, to download the tables and map data of thematic maps, and to display charts of statistical data regarding different areas in Estonia. Using the ID-card or mobile-ID for authentication will make a number of additional tools available. For example, authenticated users can perform spatial queries about new user areas or units and save thematic maps on their account to be viewed or edited later.
The aim of the statistics map application is to give a better overview of the available geo-referenced statistical data of Statistics Estonia and to promote the use and dissemination of maps and map data. At the moment, the map application mostly contains the data of the PHC, but the geo-referenced statistical data regarding the environment, economy, social life and agricultural census will also be available in the future. The application is both in Estonian and English.
