Note: Density is the number of support organizations in a district divided by the number of registered foreigners there, expressed per 10,000. Values swing widely in districts with few registered foreigners, so the figure is limited to the 52 districts with 10,000 or more. Across all 249 districts with a confirmed organization, the median is 9.7 per 10,000.

Note: the same 52 districts as Figure 2, in order of density.
Scope of the density indicator
Density is the ratio of organizations to registered foreigners. The list does not record the area one organization covers, its staffing, its opening hours, or how much it is used, so this value cannot be used to compare the quality of support or how reachable it is.
Of the 1,715 support organizations, 22 give an address without the general district, so no district could be assigned. None was assigned arbitrarily, so counts and density run low for the general districts of those cities.
Beyond that, 20 of the 34 shelters and counselling centers do not publish an address. Shelters for migrant women who have experienced violence withhold their location for the safety of the people living there. Absence from the map means the location cannot be published, not that the organization does not exist, and those organizations are absent from the density figures too. Anyone looking for one can call the Women's Emergency Line at 1366 or the Danuri Call Center at 1577-1366.
