The 1971 Census of Population was the first United Kingdom census to geo‐code the data by grid referencing. This was used to provide a matrix of variables on a system of one kilometre grid squares for the Belfast Urban Area. Principal Components Analysis of this data enabled three dimensions to be identified: Social Structure, Age Structure and Ethnic Structure. The distribution of these three dimensions is discussed, and a hierarchical grouping procedure is employed to summarise the spatial variation in these three dimensions into eight regional types.Downloads
