Understanding Society User Support

Working on a place-based evaluation, where policy change, interventions, and programme are delivered into three lSOAs. There are clear spillover effects of these changes into residing LSOAs based on qualitative data we have collected to date.

I'm looking into a difference in difference model where you would propensity score match an intervention group (actual place - LSOA plus any spillover effect LSOAs within a 1km radius of the ‘place') against a control group who could not have received the place-based policy changes, and interventions. Like this: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02673037.2022.2146065#d1e172

I’ve started delving into the Understanding Society data set, and I think I will need to apply for a special license for the LSOA data. As I am matching participants individual questions responses and household data to LSOAs. If that is the case, before I spend time competing the application process. Is there a way to know (or do you know) the sample size per LSOA? For reference, I used ARCgis to identify LSOAs in a 1km radius of the three place-based LSOA, as I have 35.
