Tom,

Sorry, its a huge dataset so I only briefly glanced at it. The data is
organised by output area. I'm not all that familiar with ONS data sets
and perhaps Matthew could comment. There seems to be a 1-many (where
many is small or sometimes 1) relationship between lower layer super
output areas and rows (if I'm reading this right). Since LLSOA's
aren't all that big would that provide enough resolution to be useful?
You'd have to order the free CD of boundaries but I think My Society
already uses output areas or something similar in its work.

Mathew?
