History and trends for a Finnish place
get_place_historyTime series for one Finnish postal area or municipality, with the direction and size of change computed for each metric so the trend does not have to be eyeballed. Answers questions like "have apartment prices been rising in Espoo?" and "is the population growing?". Defaults to housing sale prices and population. For a postal area it also returns trendMetrics: precomputed 1/5/10-year indicators — population growth, income momentum, aging velocity, family influx, construction, education uplift, and unemployment relative to the national change — which answer "is this area gentrifying / aging / declining?" directly, and whose latest values are free for everyone. Free callers receive only the last 3 years of series, no per-year history on the trend metrics (Pro or an Area Pass adds up to 10 years per metric), and no municipality housing price history — each reported in locked. A short window is NOT evidence of a short trend: if a field is locked, say the full series requires Pro rather than describing the 3-year window as the trend. Series points are index-aligned to years: a null point is a year the source did not publish for this area, and trend is null when fewer than two points have values or the series starts at zero — call that too sparse to read, not flat.
