A location quotient: this sector's share of a parish against its share of the island. A quotient of one means "the same mix as the island", and should look like nothing. Hatched parishes hold too few of this sector to compare at all, and parishes holding fewer than 30 are drawn and tabled but never named in a sentence — a quotient over a handful moves on one new record. The parishes not shown are a real gap rather than an exclusion: all but a handful of the organisations without a parish are Guernsey ones whose parish is simply not on record yet.
69 Guernsey organisations in this sector have no parish on record — a real gap, not an exclusion, and the map fills in as verification proceeds; a further 7 organisations trade on Alderney, Sark or Herm and are counted in the island split rather than on this map.
