Ethnic fractionalization in Ethiopia and their coincidence with marginality hotspots, 2007

This map shows ethnic fractionalization. The Ethnic Fractionalization Index is calculated using data from the 2007 Population and Housing Census. The striped areas show where marginality hotspots are. The map reveals that marginality hotspots are ethnically more homogeneous than non-hotspot areas.

Quality/Lineage: This map shows the ethnic fractionalization index as developed by Taylor and Hudson (1970). The index is calculated as
1- sum(gi), where g is the proportion of people belonging to ethnic group i. The sum runs from 1 to n, where n is the number of ethnic groups in the country.
The data used is taken from the 2007 Population and Housing Census (CSA, 2008) and is available on woreda (district) level.
