伴随小单位地区人口普查统计数据的数字边界数据文件的存在现已成为许多国家人口普查结果的标准。然而，人口普查地理规范的差异越来越大，英国各组成国之间的多边形集也普遍不一致。本文报告的研究创建了 1971 年至 2001 年英国最近四次人口普查的一致区域数据集和人口普查计数估计值，以便能够比较小空间单位和分析人口变化。本文通过与 1981 年至 1991 年间一致空间单位的子集以及已发布的较大区域统计数据进行比较，评估了面积加权和测绘测绘生成的数据集。还结合先前发表的根据经验获得权重以用于测绘映射的方法对结果进行了检查。该论文强调了为分析人口随时间变化而创建的一致小空间单元的潜力。版权所有 © 2011 约翰·威利父子有限公司
The existence of digital boundary data files to accompany area census statistics for small units has now become accepted as the norm in respect of population census output in many countries. However, there has been growing variation in the specification of census geography and widespread inconsistency in the sets of polygons between the constituent countries of the UK. This paper reports on research that has created data sets of consistent areas and estimates of census counts spanning the last four British censuses from 1971 to 2001 to enable the comparison of small spatial units and the analysis of population change. The paper assesses the data sets produced by areal weighting and dasymetric mapping by comparison with a subset of consistent spatial units between 1981 and 1991 and with published statistics for larger areas. The results are also examined in relation to previously published methods of obtaining weights empirically for use in the dasymetric mapping. The paper highlights the potential of the consistent small spatial units that have been created for the analysis of population change over time. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
