Demography
Represent the first level of the place name category, namely city, town, township (apartheid), tribal authority or administrative area. In the census geography hierarchy, place name refers to the civic entities below the level of municipality, e.g. town, village or informal settlement.
<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>The creation of the 2011 place name boundaries was not based on EA demarcation as in 2001. The 2011 place name boundaries were based on existing spatial layers of proclaimed suburb boundaries from municipalities, point and attribute data from the dwelling frame project, as well as other existing polygon-based place name layers from private entities or municipalities. In urban areas, names were mostly verified against the attributes from the erven cadastre.
