The Community Survey is a nationally representative, large-scale household survey which is designed to provide information on the extent of poor households in South Africa, their access to services, and levels of unemployment, at national, provincial and municipal levels. The main objectives of the survey are: 1. To fill data gaps between national population and housing censuses, 2. To provide estimates at lower geographical levels than existing household surveys, 3. To build capacities for the next census round, 4. To provide inputs to the mid-year population projections.
This is one of the community survey which is conducted on a periodic basis, every 5 to 10 years.
Dataset consists of various parameters related to health, demographics, access to services, sex, age/birth year, marital status, religion, rating of the overall service delivery (schools, electricity, water access and sanitation).
The sampling procedure that was adopted for the Community Survey was a two-stage stratified random sampling process. It covered all the usual household residents in South Africa.
