which was 63%. (21) The level of radio ownership at 69% was
also lower than the rest of the West Bank village population,
which was 79%. (22) While not directly comparable with the

electrical refrigerators, the level of refrigerator ownership
in the north Jordan Valley was only 17%, while the aggregate
level of village ownership in 1983 was 46% (92% in urban

Village population own either gas or electrical cooking
ranges. (24)
