Neighborhood variables were obtained from SuomiCD, which contains a collection of Finnish government statistics compiled for each of the country’s 452 municipalities, based on data from 1998. We analyzed urban/rural residency, migration rate inside the municipality, and percentage of older adolescent residents (aged 15 to 19). Seventy-two percent of the sample resided in urban municipalities and 28% resided in rural municipalities. Migration inside the municipality ranged from 2% to 16% with a mean of 9.48% and standard deviation of 3.46. The percentage of residents aged 15 to 19 ranged from 4% to 11% (M = 6.58, SD = 0.93). These variables showed varying degrees of correlation. Urban/rural residency correlated 0.67 (p < 0.01) with migration rates and −0.11 (p < 0.01) with percentage of older adolescents. Urban municipalities had higher rates of migration and slightly fewer older adolescent residents (age 15 to 19). Migration rates and older adolescents were correlated −0.31 (p < 0.01).
