| However, conclusions based on a sample of 4 locations in terms of political affiliations may be less 'safe', since demographic features tend to be clustered in their distribution. An example of this is the [[https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/26/how-a-haredi-community-in-london-is-coping-with-coronavirus-photo-essay | Haredi]] community of London. Sampling in Stamford Hill would result in a high 'concentration' of ultra orthodox Jews. If this was construed as representative of Jewish demographics of London by extrapolation, conclusions would be wildly inaccurate. To overcome this natural tendency for demographic features to be clustered, geographers are obliged to access large data sets in order for their conclusions to be deemed safe. An example of such data sets is the [[https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-12-10/australia-talks-data-explorer-2019/12946988#/about |Australia Talks]] data, surveying 54 000 people across a geographical area of 7.6 million square kilometres, using 500 questions. | However, conclusions based on a sample of 4 locations in terms of political affiliations may be less 'safe', since demographic features tend to be clustered in their distribution.
