How to read this table
Comparing rows helps identify where the low-income population is concentrated based on settlement size. You can compare indicators for cities with populations of fewer than 50 thousand against larger cities or rural areas. The "Urban residents - total" row demonstrates changes in urban settlements as a whole, where the indicator changed from 40.4 in 2013 to 75 by 2023, allowing for an assessment of the scale of changes in the distribution structure of low-income citizens across the country
