City of Cape Town – 2011 Census Suburb Mamre
July 2013
Compiled by Strategic Development Information and GIS Department (SDI&GIS), City of Cape Town
2011 Census data supplied by Statistics South Africa
(Based on information available at the time of compilation as released by Statistics South Africa)
The 2011 Census suburbs (190) have been created by SDI&GIS grouping the 2011 Census sub-places using GIS and
December 2011 aerial photography. A sub-place is defined by Statistics South Africa “is the second (lowest) level of
the place name category, namely a suburb, section or zone of an (apartheid) township, smallholdings, village, subvillage, ward or informal settlement.”

Data Notes:
 The following databases from Statistics South Africa (SSA) software were used to extract the data for the profiles:
Demographic Profile – Descriptive and Education databases
Economic Profile – Labour Force and Head of Household databases
Dwelling Profile – Dwellings database
Household Services Profile – Household Services database
 In some Census suburbs there may be no data for households, or a very low number, as the Census suburb has
population mainly living in collective living quarters (e.g. hotels, hostels, students’ residences, hospitals, prisons
and other institutions) or is an industrial or commercial area. In these instances the number of households is not
applicable. All tables have the data included, even if at times they are “0”, for completeness. The tables relating to
population, age and labour force indicators would include the population living in these collective living quarters.
 The Census suburbs where the population is categorised as living mainly in collective living quarters or is an
industrial or commercial area, the average household size has been excluded as it is not applicable. There are
some Census suburbs with an average household size that have a small percentage of the population living in
collective living quarters within that Census suburb, and this could artificially inflate the average household size.

The population and household numbers above are to be used and quoted as the official numbers for this
2011 Census suburb for 2011.
Key results for 2011 Census Suburb Mamre:

The population is predominantly Coloured (95%).

32% of those aged 20 years and older have completed Grade 12 or higher.

73% of the labour force (aged 15 to 64) is employed.



97% of households live in formal dwellings.



Note: There are small variations in the total population and the number of households in the tables which follow.
These occur as Statistics South Africa had to calculate the true population to correct omissions and double counts in
the enumeration process. In addition when the data is extracted using the Statistics South Africa software, it randomly
rounds off all cells to a base number 3, including the totals. These variations are not significant.
