However, the area of the district also includes the nearby suburb of Länsinummi in addition to Runosmäki proper, which has a population of about 8,200 and thus it is only the second-largest suburb of Turku, after Varissuo.

The services in the suburb include several schools, a library, a health centre, sports facilities and an old people's home.
