Difference in spatial coverage units of data sets #7

Closed BScheliga closed 4 years ago

BScheliga commented 4 years ago

The data sets do not have the same smallest spatial coverage unit e.g. Mid-2019 Pop Estimates Scotland has Council areas, NHS board areas and Scotland wide as where Urban-rural class's smallest unit is data zone. Data zone are intended to be of equal population (https://www.gov.scot/publications/scottish-index-multiple-deprivation-2020/pages/2/).

First thoughts: depending on the layout/structure of the final data set, (a) create either a table (related resource) that specifies the different spatial resolutions of the data or (b) (if melt-style layout) add a column that specifies the different spatial resolutions of the data

Table 2 - 9 of the Mid 2019 population estimate Scotland have the spatial of Council areas Table 1 & 10 whole of Scotland

Obsolete. Using the Small Area Population Estimated (See #3) solves this problem
