Hi Helene,<br><br>I followed the instructions you posted here about a month ago to try and get the data I need.<br><br>The problem is that I can't wait until March, my job is due at the end of January. So I was hoping to use the midyear population estimates and the household surveys in place of the full census data. But I really don't know how to communicate with Stats SA about this.<br>
<br>I'll give the people mentioned by another poster a go, but if you can suggest a person at Stats SA (not the web site, it's not useful to me at this stage) who can perhaps help me, I would be grateful.<br><br>Regards<br>

Good morning,<br>
On <a href="http://www.statssa.gov.za" target="_blank">www.statssa.gov.za</a> is a schedule of when what will be released.<br>
Data on small areas is due end March 2013.<br>
Suggestion: Follow the instructions to request information - response will most likely be better.<br>
All the best,<br>

based on my experience from the previous census and I believe this one<br>
is similar:<br>
<br>
If you get the full data DVD / download at some point it will consist of<br>
the sub-place, main-place and larger boundary shapefiles, with IDs.<br>
These will likely be different from the previous census after<br>
redistricting.<br>
<br>
It will also have the data in proprietary SuperCross format, as well as<br>
a free SuperCross viewer installer. You use SuperCross to set up<br>
cross-tabulations, filters, aggregations, etc that you want, then export<br>
them. Then in a GIS you can join them to your boundary layers to map them.<br>
<br>
The data are usually aggregated to sub-place level as EA level data are<br>
deemed too sensitive and non-anonymous to release unless with special<br>
permission.<br>
<br>
When and how this will all be released by StatsSA is another story...<br>
<br>
It *should* all be available on demand via OGC web services. In a few<br>
years when they've switched to a FOSS infrastructure I'm sure that's<br>
what we'll get.<br>
