Per capita metrics are based on the population of each city’s jurisdiction, not the service area of the library. While not all Metro Coalition cities’ data are presented, all five cities’ data are included in the ‘average without Iowa City’ calculations. For this report populations used is the city population and does not include contract areas which, for Iowa City, include rural Johnson County, Hills, University Heights and Lone Tree. 688
