I am doing my research on the role of geographical contexts on social capital and political participation among young people. I want to explore how living in a deprived/prosperous area shape youth's social networks and participation in politics.

my supervisor asked me to compare two geographical areas, where I use survey asking the youth from both areas about their social networks and if these help them participate in politics. I am struggling to find relevant geographical contexts. I selected two different areas from York, but as my supervisor York is relatively a wealthy area. I was thinking about London or Manchester as they have more diversity including social and economic conditions but still do not know what to choose should I select two areas from London or Manchester or I should select areas from different cities and so you think two cases are enough for this study and do you think do a survey for 40 people in each area is enough. Is it possible I analyse my survey's data quantitatively?
