Places to belong

23 registered charities give a Iqaluit mailing address

Per 1,000 residents that makes 2.7; the median is 0.9 for Nunavut towns and 1.4 for Canada’s. The CRA files each charity under its mailing address, so a service town collects its region’s charities and a suburb or rural municipality few.
