Rank Finnish postal areas by any metric — highest or lowest income, population, unemployment, education, housing prices — nationally or within one municipality or region. Crime rate metrics (crime_total_rate and friends) rank municipalities instead, since crime is only published at that grain. For gender_balance_20_39 the useful question is usually which areas are closest to an even split, not which are most skewed: pass order="balance" for that, since both a high and a low ratio mean imbalance. Get valid metric codes from list_variables. Free callers receive at most 10 rows regardless of `limit`, reported in `locked`. `near` plus `withinKm` narrows the ranking to areas within a straight-line radius of another place. That is distance over the ground, never a travel or commute time. To screen areas on several metrics at once — "above-average family share and below-average housing prices" — rank by one metric and pass the rest as `includeVariables`; that is a single call. Do not call get_place_stats per area to collect a second metric.
