Summary 

The South African Community Survey conducted in 2016 aimed to collection information on population estimations, demographic characteristics, socioeconomic factors, and services and facilities access. The survey sample was comprised of the non-institutional population in the country, excluding populations such as those in hospital care, old age homes, orphanages, boarding schools, prisons, and refugee camps. The final sample size consisted of 1,370,809 dwelling units from 93,427 enumeration areas.
