I’m well aware this is an example and extreme set, but I feel like the anonymous data set lost almost all value in the process and might as well not even include age as a metric as the ranges it includes are nearly useless. I would think that anonymizing ZIP Codes would be far more useful to researchers in this particular case. Perhaps even inventing a system where nearby regions can be coded as such without giving away identifying populations or perhaps even physical sizes.
