Increasing demand for disclosure control Even smaller area statistics - easier to identify/recognice persons or communities More detailed statistics – more sensitive data More available statistics – easier to combine and derive other information (classic ex.: elder single person with lots of money)
Disclosure depend on geography (radius 75 m) Addresses Oslo municipality – 66 000 addresses (coordinate pairs) Persons
Disclosure varies with time and society Norwegian population cencus 1910 - about amongst others; returned norwegian-americans, dissidents, blind people, deaf people and lunitics
Advantages of grid Stable land units makes measuring change in geographical concentration easier (?) Measuring co-variation when lacking exact geographical match Easy data handling – do not need GIS
Advantages of blobs High geographical accuracy Easy to read – less ”noise” in the map
