Social Atlas series
Purchasing a Social Atlas for your capital city can help you to:
- easily visualise and understand results from the 1996 Census of Population and Housing;
- identify and analyse the key social, demographics and housing characteristics;
- plan business strategies, infrastructure and service deliveries; and
- provide a guide to where to carry out more intensive research.
