Sampling procedure:

I Storstockholmsområdet ansågs följande kommuner ingå: Boo, Botkyrka, Danderyd, Djursholm, Ekerö, Färingsö, Grödinge, Gustavsberg, Huddinge, Järfälla, Lidingö, Märsta, Nacka, Salem, Saltsjöbaden, Sollentuna, Solna, Stocksund, Sundbyberg, Tyresö, Täby, Upplands-Väsby, Vallentuna, Värmdö, Västerhaninge, österhaninge, österåker samt Stockholms stad. Från dessa kommuner, utom Stockholms stad som ansågs given, gjordes ett urval. De ovan nämnda 28 kommunerna indelades i 8 grupper efter kommunstorlek, expansionstakt samt ´svaga´ respektive ´starka´ socialdemokratiska kommuner. I den mån det var möjligt togs också hänsyn till kommunens geografiska läge i förhållande till Stockholms stad. Härvid definierades varje kommun såsom belägen i en inre, en yttre eller en mellancirkel i förhållande till Stockholms stad. Vid den slutliga urvalsdragningen kom på så sätt en del kommuner att vara ´givna´ medan man lottade mellan de övriga. Likaså har givetvis båda kommunerna varit givna i de fall då endast två kommuner ingår i gruppen. Endast i ett fall har ett helt obundet urval skett.
Individurvalet utfördes lik
