我们报告的两个地理人口分类系统的基础上，1991年人口普查变量的分析，在英格兰和威尔士的地区，病房和普查查点区的检查。我们还审查了所研究的变量之间的关联，在何种程度上某些基本组件可能占整体变化和类型的领域是最不典型的。结果表明，小区域在许多方面是不同的;几个维度不能提供足够的信息来全面描述一个区域。即使在地理分类之后，大多数尺度上的多样性仍然存在，强调了特定任务分类的优势。
We report on an examination of two geodemographic classification systems based on an analysis of 1991 census variables, for districts, wards and census enumeration districts in England and Wales. We also review the associations among the variables examined, the extent to which certain underlying components might account for the overall variation and the types of areas that are least typical. The results show that small areas are different in many different ways; a few dimensions cannot provide enough information to describe an area fully. Diversity on most scales remains even after geodemographicclassification, emphasizing the advantages of task-specific classification.
