Notes 1. Gi 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 Q precision in tabular form. 2. 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. 3. 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. At the same time, good road conditions have made the amenities of district center living readily available to the residents of Nett and Sokehs MuniciConsequently, we chose to include all of Nett and Sokehs in our palities. district center totals. In other cases, we disagreed with the definitions For example, we decided that because of the excellent used in the census. condition of the roadway connecting Laura to Majuro (DUD), they both warIn the case of the Yap ranted inclusion as the Marshalls District Center. to the hospital ser~ road by Islands complex, only Rumung is inaccessible vices of Colonia. so s00gl24 O_OMIREOMoI Although Rumung is within two hours travel to Colonia & .
