MetadataEditor 2025-11 Cape Town, South Africa City of Cape Town Version 1 South Africa The data covers the City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. Orphaned sub-places too small for a suburb profile were sampled for metro totals only. The lowest level of geographic aggregation of the data is suburb. Sample survey data [ssd] A pilot in October and November 2023 tested all aspects of the survey, with emphasis on the three main dwelling types, gated communities, questionnaire translations, response of foreigners, and high-risk areas. A representative sample was drawn in Hout Bay, Philippi, and Vrygrond; a purposive sample was drawn in Bellville and Strand. The pilot achieved 150 households. Kantar City of Cape Town Pilot sample of 150 households; questionnaire and field procedures revised for the 2024 main survey. Cross-section Kantar A face-to-face briefing was held on 13 February 2024 in Cape Town and was attended by 99 interviewers and fieldwork supervisors. Kantar project managers led the session; City officials attended. Interviewers then worked through the project pack and a test-mode questionnaire for two days. A Microsoft Teams follow-up on 15 February 2024 answered remaining questions. Every 2-3 years GeoTerraImage Building Based Land Use (BBLU) GeoTerraImage (GTI) GTI updates BBLU through the New Development System, using satellite imagery on a weekly basis. The City updates population and household counts by sub-place annually with a growth model that uses building applications, aerial photography, Human Settlements data, and Statistics South Africa Mid-Year Population Estimates. After the sample was drawn, City officials reviewed geographic spread. Some informal-settlement and ADI boundaries were redrawn where dwellings lay just outside the intended sub-place or official property boundary. Computer Assisted Personal Interview[capi] The questionnaire was piloted in October and November 2023 (n = 150) and revised before main fieldwork. Translations were prepared in Afrikaans, English, and isiXhosa.
