Abstract: This brief article follows an earlier one which identified deficiencies in the descriptive power of the factorial ecology method. Attention is focused here on within-area variations through use of an Index of Qualitative Variation. Application of this index to data for Christchurch, New Zealand, along with the ‘classical’ factorial ecology approach, provides a more detailed description of the sociospatial environment than has hitherto been possible.
