How is spatial statistics different from mapping?
inference from sample to population
estimate values in unknown areas
If data represents a sample of people within a cell, then estimate quantities for all people in the cell
quantify the uncertainty of estimates

How is spatial statistics different from non-spatial statistics?
Data structures can be unique:
areal data is aggregated to spatial cells
point patterns: the location of an event is the data
spatial data isn't independent
nearby locations are more alike than distance locations
