Dan,

I do not know when and where he visited in Finland, if he did it at all. I 
do nor recognize his description and it is no support for it in the Finnish 
statistics. In general the Nordic countries have less inhabitants per room 
than US. To get a picture of the real situation, United Nations Development 
Programme reports are here,

of special interest is,

Human Development Report 2003

In Sweden and in Finland, it is some parts of Helsinki and Stockholm, that 
became some sort of immigrant centers and this is a difficult problem. This 
problem is common for all larger cities in Europe and it is considerable 
efforts done to improve the adaptation of the immigrants to their new 
environment. A problem that is also common in the US.
