Korea Immigration Regional Dashboard

Registered foreigners are counted across 192 nationalities.
Angola
People registered with Angola nationality number 101, which is less than 0.1% of all registered foreigners and ranks 106 in size. Compared with 74 in 2015, 10 years earlier, that is an increase of about 36.5%. They live in 35 districts, and the largest counts are Seoul Yongsan-gu with 19, Gyeonggi-do Pyeongtaek-si with 14, and Gyeonggi-do Ansan-si Danwon-gu with 10. The index of dissimilarity (D) from Koreans is 0.792, the isolation index is 0, and interaction with Koreans is 0.947. The highest location quotient (LQ) is in Seoul Yongsan-gu at 47.6, where this nationality is 0% of the foreigners in that district. The continent of origin is Africa. The largest age group is 35-39 at 13.5%, and men are 64.9%. This value alone is based on staying foreigners. Estimated mother tongues are Portuguese at 36.4% and Umbundu at 21%.

The index of dissimilarity, the isolation index, and the location quotient are calculated from the open dataset.
| Indicators | Angola | All registered foreigners | Relative to total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Registered foreigners | 101 | 1,604,920 | under 0.1% of the total |
| Districts of residence | 35 | 250 | 14.0% of the total |
| Index of dissimilarity (D) | 0.792 | 0.280 | rank 6 of 107 |
| Isolation index | 0.0000 | 0.045 | rank 87 of 107 |
| Interaction with Koreans | 0.947 | 0.955 | rank 94 of 107 |
| Continent | Africa | 24,473 (1.5% of the total) | 0.4% of those from Africa |

Note: the dissimilarity index D measures how far a nationality's distribution across districts differs from that of Korean nationals; 0 means the two distributions match and 1 means complete separation. Isolation is the probability that a member meets someone of the same nationality, and interaction the probability of meeting a Korean resident. In the All registered foreigners column the three indices treat all registered foreigners as one group and use the same formulas. In the Relative to total column, rank 1 is the highest value among nationalities with 100 or more registered foreigners that year; in the continent row that column gives this nationality's share of all registered foreigners from the continent.

Note: the dissimilarity index D measures how far a nationality's distribution across districts differs from that of Korean nationals, isolation is the probability that a member meets someone of the same nationality, and interaction the probability of meeting a Korean resident. The three run on different ranges, so they are selected one at a time.
