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.
