Assessing gaps

To identify population groups with the lowest and highest access to a number of basic services and opportunities, the classification tree methodology is used. This statistical algorithm splits the population into groups with significantly different access levels, based on a combination of shared circumstances that households or individuals have in common, but no control over.
