The
distribution of households according to the degrees of satisfaction for
the index of income-related indicators reflects a difference in kind
between the mohafazats of Beirut and Mount Lebanon, on the one hand, and
the other four mohafazats, on the other. The proportion of households
classified below the threshold of satisfaction amounts to 35.2 percent
for Beirut, and 33.5 percent for Mount Lebanon (Table 48). Both cases
are noticeably below the national average of 42.8 percent. In the
remaining four mohafazats, the proportion of households below the
threshold exceeds 50 percent of resident households; being very close in
the mohafazats of the North, south and Bekaa, and slightly higher in the
Mohafazat of Nabatieh.

The ranking of the mohafazats is
altered when classified according to the percentage share of deprived
households in total deprived households in the country (Table 49). Thus,
the highest concentration of deprived households is to be found in the
Mohafazat of Mount Lebanon (30.6 percent), followed by the Mohafazat of
the North (23.1 percent); with the Mohafazat of Nabatieh coming at the
end of the scale. The high ranking of Mount Lebanon is mainly due to the
large share of deprived households which inhabit the suburbs of the
capital, but which are administratively part of the kadas of Baabda
(11.4 percent) and El-Metn (8.8 percent).
