In this instance, and in all subsequent use of Kay's graphic materials,

it must be noted that Kay's figures do not always correspond exactly to
to figures in this report (differing in most cases by statistically in-

significant proportions).

Kay's graphs are intended to suggest broad

demographic features, and they accurately illustrate the population
characteristics indicated by this data, which are presented with more

For the purposes of this report, the following definitions have been used

to describe each geographical sub-division:

"District. Centers" and "Sub-district Centers" have been defined,

whenever possible, to conform with the criteria used in the 1973

TIPI Census; i.e. "These centers have been designated according
to a combination of lifestyle related criteria including the

presence or absence of district and sub-district government ad-

ministrative offices, hospitals and high schools, concentration

of stores, salaried wage earners, public utilities (water and

electricity), post offices, road and cars, airfields, harbors,
etc." In terms of health care delivery, district and sub-district

center populations are all within one or two hours traveling time

by car or boat to hospital services.

"Intermediate Areas" include ali those municipalities, islands,

and atolls which are more than two hours traveling time from hospital services, but within less than one day's travel by small
boat.
"Outer Islands" are al] those islands and atolls located more
than one day's travel from district and sub-district center.
They are primarily accessible only by ship.

1973 Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (TTPI} Census, P.4
In defining geographical sub-areas, we have not always followed exactly
the criteria of the 1973 census.

For example, the census defines Ponape's

district center to include Kolonia Municipality and certain census enure-

ration districts in Nett and Sokehs Municipalities. However, we were
unable to express our data in terms more specific than whole municipalities.
