Methods

Socio-economic and mortality analyses were conducted at a small area-level within each city.  The maps of Turin represent 2,666 Census Tracts or small areas.  Data from the 2000 - 2008 Turin Registry Office was used to obtain the population size per Census Tract. 

The 2,666 Census Tracts studied by INEQ-CITIES were aggregated from 3,701 Census Tracts, the total number of small areas in Turin.  Neighbouring Census Tracts were aggregated if they had similar levels of socio-economic deprivation, measured by the socio-economic indicators shown in this Atlas.  Aggregation was performed to enable statistical analysis of sparsely populated areas.  The INEQ-CITIES research of Turin is based on these figures. 

The table below shows the estimated population size per Census Tract by first, second (median) and third quartiles, based on 2004 figures from the Turin Registry Office.  Due to the large number of Census Tracts in Turin, the population size per small area is very small.
