Togo

People registered with Togo nationality number 46, which is less than 0.1% of all registered foreigners and ranks 134 in size. Compared with 31 in 2015, 10 years earlier, that is an increase of about 48.4%. They live in 19 districts, and the largest counts are Gyeonggi-do Dongducheon-si with 14, Seoul Jung-gu with 7, and Gyeonggi-do Paju-si with 4. The largest age group is 50-54 at 17%, and men are 71.7%. This value alone is based on staying foreigners. Estimated mother tongues are Ewe at 23.8% and Kabiyè at 14.1%.

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

Source: MOJ Statistical Yearbook (registered foreigners by nationality), segregation indicators 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, Togo 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 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.
