Rönö
Rönö is the only areas in Kuopio where the average annual income of households exceeds €100,000. On the southwest coast of the island, the average income is up to €230,000. There are few elderly people living in the area, but there are many small families. The average size of households is 2,2–2,9 people.
In addition to the main island, the Rönö district includes islands called Honkasaari, Lehtosaari, Varvisaari and Tiilissaari, as well as a few smaller islands. Of these, there is a bridge connection to Varvisaari from Rönö. On January 1, 2008, there were only 15 jobs in Rönö and its neighboring islands. This illustrates the emphasis of the area almost entirely on residential and recreational use, so there are no stores or kiosks in the area. The nearest similar, summer and bespoke restaurant called Peräniemi Casino, is located on the edge of Väinölänniemi opposite Rönö. Bus traffic to the area is limited to daytime, between 7 and 16 p.m. With the exception of Rönö Island, the district is part of the Kuopio National City Park, established in December 2017.
