~56- C. “y ¢ Geographic Distribution: Table , IV-4 shows Trust Territory citizens by place of residence at the time of the 1973 census, both in absolute numbers and as a percent | of the total district population. This table slightly understates the proportion of residents in District Centers since it excludes aliens, who reside almost exclusively in District Centers. The geographical areas selected are not political sub-divisions, but rather geographical units defined by social characteristics and travel times (accessibility to hospital services). 2/ Table clearly shows that more people live in the district centers than in any other single geographical sub-area. 3/ It also shows that the combined populations of the district and sub-district centers account for more than one-half of the TIPI's entire population. Thus, it is possible to say that most Micronesians reside in areas with relatively easy access to hospitals 4/ and other health services. 9008107 EERLIENIEPA,IETSFIL : {ORCI RrR Hea erence ITI PER TTT Torreon @
