In 1 January 2011, the highest concentration of migrants was in Eastern Helsinki. Altogether 17 per cent of the population in Eastern Helsinki spoke other than Finnish, Swedish or Sámi as a native tongue. The second highest concentration of migrants was in North-Eastern Helsinki, where 11 per cent of the population spoke other than FInnish, Swedish or Sámi as a native tongue. In all other regions of Helsinki, the concentration level was below ten per cent. |
