Correlation analysis of different distance measures at short distances by correlation coefficient, r, for the relationship between different average distance measures and mean travel time to casualty clinic.
Analyses on municipalities with shorter travel times than indicated on the X-axis (N = 3 to 11). Critical r curves corresponding to p = 0.05. r-values between these curves are statistically non-significant.

Postcode based distance and consultation rate at the casualty clinic.
Relationship between average postcode based distance (kilometres) from Watchtower municipalities to casualty clinic and consultation rate at the casualty clinic (per 1 000 inhabitants per year). Each point represents rate in one municipality for one year (2007–2011). Circles indicate monomunicipal and crosses intermunicipal out-of-hours districts.
