## How this was worked out

A zone counts if any part of it falls within 8 km of 61.4807, 21.7852 - Pori's centre as recorded by GeoNames. That radius scales with population and is NOT the administrative city boundary, so a zone just outside the city limits still appears. Population 83,157 (GeoNames record updated 2025-11-18).
