AreaMatch is a tool for assessing geospatial linking of incongruent units. This tool helps you link survey data (with geospatial identifiers) to contextual geographic units when those spatial units are incongruent (for example, ZIP code areas vs municipal boundaries). It presents three different matching methods (centroid matching, areal matching, and areal interpolation), provides replicable code and evaluates the accuracy and effectiveness of the chosen matching technique.

Further information: This tool was developed as part of the KODAQS project, a partnership between GESIS, the University of Mannheim, and LMU Munich.
