MDI’s own municipal survey 2020: Ostrobothnia is number one in terms of vitality while faith in the future can be found all across Finland

In October-November, we conducted a nationwide municipal survey for the sixth time. With the survey, we gathered the views of municipal decision-makers and senior officials on their municipality’s future.

We will publish the entire results package and interactive Tableau visualisations in early 2021. A summary and reports from previous years (in Finnish) can be found at mdi.fi/kuntakysely.
