New Data: South Africa subnational - Mid-year population estimates
Friday, 16 Jun 2017 10:48 ET
By Elizabeth Fitts
Summary
April 2017 -- Data Buffet now carries population for South Africa by sex, five-year age bracket, and province (341 new annual series from 2001). This is necessary to correctly capture revisions.
Detail

Figures are unitary count (#). Geo coverage is the nine provinces and the nation. Subnational figures are reported whereas national figures are calculated by us.

The series reside in the historical catalog (South Africa » Demographics » Population » By sex and age) and include, for example:

  • VSQPOPEM0004UA.IZAF_EC = Mid-year population estimate - Males - Ages 0 to 4, (#) - for Eastern Cape
  • VSQPOPEF0509UA.IZAF_WC = Females - Ages 5 to 9 - for Western Cape
  • VSQPOPET80GUA.IZAF     = Both sexes - Ages 80 and older

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.
