Abstract: Location is not only a prime determinant of market value for real estate property, but more generally is important in all socio-economic phenomena. Every individual case, that is, every ‘real-life-object’ and its corresponding ‘statistical-counting-unit’ in a statistical data base must contain detailed information about its geographic location. Although location is usually not one of the properties of the ‘statistical-counting-units’, their geographic location becomes important when incorporating them into an aggregate.
