  1. Mean values ± standard deviations (95% confidence intervals, C.I.s) of J.T. facilities per 100,000 people are presented; the mean Gini indices (95% C.I.s) of their distributions were estimated using the bootstrap method.
  2. † The differences in values were significant (p < 0.05, two-tailed t-test) when compared to those in the previous 2 years.
