Notes: Estimated by 1000 * capacity/people. Level of distribution inequality estimated by │Median-Mean│ and MSE. *: larger than national average, Level of distribution inequality estimated by Gini coefficient. ◎: 0.4~0.6, median inequality, ◎◎: >0.6, high inequality, Level of distribution inequality estimated by∣Median-Mean∣ and MSE of M1~M3. ∆: larger than M0.
