Spatial GC/CI rankings are based on regional average income.

Spatial inequalities indicate the GC and the CI calculated across regions.

Percentiles were obtained through bootstrapping simulations with 1,000 replications.

CI: The CI of ill-health scores.

CI*: The CI of indirectly standardized ill-health scores by age and gender.

GC: The Gini Coefficient.
