  1. a4 districts—Mustang, Guimi, Nuwakot and Manang—have no raw coverage as no samples are located in those areas
  2. bThe RGI score measures relative inequality when given coverage levels. Negative values indicate a lower than expected inequality, while positive values indicate greater than expected inequality. ↓means a score significantly lower than 0, while ↑means significantly higher than 0
