Blau space consists of the multidimensional coordinate system, created by considering the set of socio-demographic variables as dimensions. All socio-demographic characteristics are potential elements of Blau space, including continuous characteristics such as age, years of education, income, occupational prestige, geographic location, and so forth. In addition, categorical measures of socio-demographic characteristics such as race, sex, religion, birthplace, and others are Blau dimensions. "Blau space" is a theoretical construct, named after Peter Blau, first presented in McPherson's "Ecology of Affiliation" in American Sociological Review Vol. 48 (1983), pp. 519-532. However, a more sophisticated version is presented in McPherson and Ranger-Moore's "Evolution on a Dancing Landscape: Organizations and Networks in Dynamic Blau Space" in Social Forces Vol. 70 (1991), pp. 19?42.
