Census

There are two options available for viewing SAPS information.

                › INTERACTIVE MAPPING TOOL(SAPMAP) 

This interface allows you to access SAPS through an interactive map search. SAPMAP allows users to navigate to their location of interest by using the address search facility or by pinpointing a location on the map. They can then select the geographic boundary they are interested in and access all of the 2006 Census tables that have been produced for that area.

                › INTERACTIVE TABLES 

This allows you to view SAPS tables organised by theme for each level of geography.

Theme 1: Sex, age and marital status	Theme 9:   Social class and socio-economic group
Theme 2: Migration, Ethnicity and Religion	Theme 10: Education
