Abstract
Spatio-demographic data sets are increasingly available worldwide, permitting ever more realistic modeling and analysis of social processes ranging from mobility to disease transmission. The information provided by these data sets is typically aggregated by areal unit, for reasons of both privacy and administrative cost. Unfortunately, such aggregation does not permit fine-grainedassessment of geography at the level of individual households. In this paper, we propose to partially address this problem via the development of point process models that can be used to e ffectively simulate the location of individual households within small areal units.
