Malmi (Finnish: [ˈmɑlmi]; Swedish: Malm) is a regional center and a major district in the north-eastern part of Helsinki, Finland. It has a population of 24,312 (2008). The Malmi District (Finnish: Malmin kaupunginosa) is divided into six subareas, two of which form the center: Ylä-Malmi ("Upper Malmi") and Ala-Malmi ("Lower Malmi"), and the rest are Tattariharju, Malminkenttä ("Malmi Field", former Malmi Airport). Malmin peruspiiri is a related but distinct subdivision of Helsinki (used for certain administrative purposes) which does not include Pihlajamäki and Pihlajisto, but instead includes Tapanila and Tapaninvainio. The population of this area is approximately 27,800.
Its main transport links include the main railway dividing the city center into Ylä-Malmi and Ala-Malmi, as well as the ring road called Ring I (Finnish: Kehä I) in the southern part of the district. Along the railway, Malmi has its own railway station. The closed Malmi Airport was located in the eastern part of the district. Also, Malmi is home to the Malmi Cemetery, the largest cemetery of Finland. The Malmi shooting range hosted the pistol and rifle shooting events of the 1952 Summer Olympics.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Malmi, Helsinki” as 38th neighbourhood of Helsinki, Finland. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 38th neighbourhood of Helsinki, Finland. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3087996. Authority coordinates are 60.250, 25.010. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2008 and 1952.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
