Abstract
The results obtained from studies of spatially aggregated data are not independent of the choice of zoning system. The paper investigates the effects of different zone-design criteria on a linear-regression model. It is concluded that there is unlikely to be either a simple or general-purpose solution to the problem.Keywords
