Comprehensive national survey has been conducted every 5 years to gather data on the income and expenditure of households in South Africa. The objectives are to: determine the weights for the CPI; present the earning and spending capacity of S.A. households; and identify the pattern of household consumption. The survey includes households throughout the country, including the 13 historical metropolitan areas as well as other urban areas and rural areas. Data of the 1995 and 2000 surveys are available. 2005/2006 can be requested directly from the South African Data Archive.
