Note: Narsarsuaq and Kangerlussuaq are not included
in the calculations.
Note: 1) The settlement ration measure is
calculated as the ratio between the average income in settlements and the
average income in towns. A settlement ratio of 60 per cent, for example, would
mean that the average income in settlements is 60 per cent of the average
income in towns.
