Mnemonic Change: South Africa subnational - Deaths - Partial
Thursday, 27 Apr 2017 15:58 ET
By Katie Cristofano
Summary
April 2017 -- For additivity for demographics at the province geo level in South Africa, we have revived and renamed two death-count series (two annual series from 1997).
Detail

Our changes are:

  • Resume harvesting these series
  • Define geo codes for the reported special areas "Outside Republic of South Africa" and "Unspecified"
  • Rename with a standard concept code
  • Standardize metadata

Figures are unitary counts (#). The series start at 1997. For the concept code VSQDTHUA, geo IZAF = sum(nine provinces) + IZAF_OU + IZAF_US.

The series reside in the historical catalog (South Africa » Demographics » Components of change » Deaths) and are (old » new):

  • VSQDTHOSAPUA.IZAF » VSQDTHUA.IZAF_OU = for Outside RSA
  • VSQDTHUSPUA.IZAF  » VSQDTHUA.IZAF_US = for Unspecified

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
