South Africa - South African Census 2001

In October 2001, South Africans were enumerated to collect information on persons and households throughout the country, using a uniform methodology. Household data collected included data on each household and each person present in the household on Census night, as well as data on services available to the household. Data on household residents, and residents of hostels and the other types of collective living quarters was also captured, as well as data on individuals who spent census night in institutions and hotels.
