Geography
Bespoke area geography designed where each unit area covers sufficient sampled addresses to equal one fieldwork assignment and is geographically 'sensible' as an assignment. Area units were constructed using output areas. LSOAs were originally to be used but it was decided that this would result in too much variation in the number of addresses per assignment particularly in smaller LAs.
