## How this was worked out

A zone counts if any part of it falls within 10 km of 60.4515, 22.2687 - Turku'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 206,655 (GeoNames record updated 2025-11-18).
