They might be doing a study of people living within a certain distance
of some $natural_hazard. Of course, you could deliver the data having
already translated their postcodes into such a distance, but
traditionally I think the researchers would do that.
(I know that's the way we did it when trying to research childrens'
travel-to-school profiles; 90% of the work was in doing that sum, and
the school didn't want the work, nor would they hand us the raw data to
do the work ourselves - I think we could have made a better case but we
gave up.)
