Among the others are Restaurants and Hotels (5.3%), Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco (4.9%), Furnishings, Household Equipment and Routine Household Maintenance (4.7%), Transport (2.5%), and Miscellaneous Goods and Services (2.5%). The remainder of the 4.1% total weight is made up of communication, health, recreation and cultural activities, and education.
