Over 60% of Greenland's population is in just five towns which double as provincial capitals as shown (south to north):
- Qaqortog 5.5%
- Nuuk 31.8%
- Sisimiut 9.9%
- Aasiaat 5.5%
- Ilulissat 8.0%

Just for the heck of it, I looked up the other towns on the map. Those on the west coast totaled 8.9% of Greenland's population whereas those on the east cost totaled 4.1%. These means 73.8% of the population lives in the towns on the map.
So if the remaining 26.2% of what we could call the rural population are evenly distributed, this means 94.4% live near the west coast and 5.6% live near the east coast.
I don't think Thule Air Force Base, just up the coast from Savissivik counts in the Greenland population (approx. 250 service members). It has got to be one of the worst location assignments on the planet, at least during peacetime.

“Qaqortog”. Is that the Inuit word for “Cracker Jack”?
