We show that, for a finite group G and a prime p, the following facts are equivalent: (i) the p-localization homomorphism l: G —> Gp induces p-localization on integral homology; (ii) the higher homotopy groups of the Bousfield-Kan Zp-completion of a K(G, 1) vanish; (iii) the group G is p-nilpotent.
