Including local level identifiers in Understanding Society
100%
Description
Would it be possible to have local level geographical identifiers, such as ward, postcode sector or SMOA, included in the Understanding Society data? Can we apply for this under some special "restricted access" procedure? We are willing to pay for this if this involves a fee. We would like to use the data for a project on local variations in immigrant integration. I know Understanding Society includes Government Office Regions but that level is too large for our purposes.
