Description This is a zipped folder containing shape files and geographic database files for Cape Town for the South African population census 1991.

Abstract DataFirst has been provided with additional GIS data for Cape Town from the City of Cape Town municipality for the 1991, 1996, 2001, and 2011 censuses.
We have included these files with the datasets for the relevant census years.

For the 2011 GIS data, the Sub-Place code should be used to merge the data with other variables or compare this data with other census years. Sub-Place names will not match because some of the names which were incorrectly spelled have been corrected in the City’s version.
