Census microdata have become an extremely valuable source of information in social sciences research. These data, however, must have very coarse geographic resolution in order to protect respondent anonymity. Thus the geographic scale of these microdata sources is drastically different from the scale of many spatial processes—particularly neighborhood-scale processes. It is suggested that this difference in geographic scales creates a problem of conclusion validity for regression models which use anonymized microdata: measures of statistical significance are biased in these models. A correction to this problem in which small area data and population-density maps are used to estimate the effects of spatial dependence is presented. Monte Carlo evidence is presented which demonstrates that the conclusion-validity problem may be severe in practice. Further, this evidence shows that the suggested correction with small area data restores conclusion validity to statistical tests.

Social cohesion is an important determinant of functioning and healthy communities but its spatial distribution and relation to residential segregation within cities has not been adequately addressed due to the lack of small area data. A disconnect exists between the social capital and segregation literature. This paper presents how neighbourhood cohesion is spatially distributed in Sydney and Los Angeles using synthetic spatial microdata. The results indicate that Sydney has a relatively dense clustering of neighbourhood cohesion, whereas in Los Angeles it is more dispersed. In both cities, cohesion is highest in Anglo/white concentrations, and lowest in ethnically diverse areas. In Los Angeles, neighbourhood cohesion is significantly higher in African American concentrations than in Hispanic and Asian concentrations. Overall cohesion rises with the economic status in Los Angeles but not in Sydney.
