Geo-referenced Dwelling[edit]

I believe the geo-referenced dwelling used 2009 data provided by the municipalities and is not comprehensive due to lack of funding. I do not yet have a public reference. -- Firefishy (talk) 13:06, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First reports published today[edit]

See http://www.statssa.gov.za/Census2011/Products.asp for the first publications of Census 2011. Roger (talk) 09:52, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Interview basis[edit]

Is the data in the census the best estimates or is it what people report during the interview ? I can think of a few places where discrepancies occur:

People (immigrants) say they were born in South Africa when they are fearing xenophobia.
People say they are richer than what they really are. My guess is that the post enumeration survey adjusted for this...

If they don't fear xenophobia why would they falsely claim to be born in SA? Roger (talk) 09:41, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clarifying. Lets hope these questions can be answered when the full report is published. Roger (talk) 11:19, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
