    Notes

    The Gauteng City-Region Observatory's Quality of Life Survey collects demographic data on the enumerated population (population group, gender, age, language) and on housing (dwelling type, tenure, satisfaction with dwelling, perceived quality of housing and housing allocation) as well as household services (water, sanitation, refuse, energy sources). Data is also collected on migration; health (including disability); education; employment (including employment sector); community services and amenities; transport; leisure activities; safety and crime; financial data on households (including on debts, income, and social grants); household assets; public participation and governance ; and the perceived personal well-being and quality of life of respondents.

    Additional variables that are available in the restricted-access QOLS 2023-2024 data were collected using Section 15 of the QOLS questionnaire. These questions pertain to respondents' gender identity, sexual orientation, exposure to physical and sexual abuse as a child, experiences of violence over the past year, and perceptions of support with leaving an abusive relationship.
