Registered foreigners are counted across 192 nationalities.

Luxembourg

People registered with Luxembourg nationality number 58, which is less than 0.1% of all registered foreigners and ranks 128 in size. Compared with 12 in 2015, 10 years earlier, that is an increase of about 383.3%. They live in 19 districts, and the largest counts are Seoul Yongsan-gu with 14, Seoul Mapo-gu with 13, and Seoul Seocho-gu with 8. The largest age group is 25-29 at 18.9%, and men are 50.5%. This value alone is based on staying foreigners. Estimated mother tongues are Luxembourgish at 61% and Portuguese at 14.3%.

The index of dissimilarity, the isolation index, and the location quotient are calculated from the open dataset.

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: Nationwide, Luxembourg nationality is 18.3% of all registered foreigners, so a district where the share among its foreigners is above this has relatively many of them.

Note: the location quotient is the local share divided by the national share; above 1.5 counts as over-representation.

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.
