Community Survey: 2007<br />

The Community Survey reveal that ELM population size has slightly decrease from 658<br />

422 in 2001 to 650 867 in 2007.<br />

The Community Survey results do not talk to the age break down as it was the case with<br />

Census 2001.<br />

The DBSA figures will on time to time be reflected into the document as a point of<br />

reference in instances where Community Survey did not cover the matter.<br />

NB. The recently released Community Survey results did not cover the demographic<br />

composition of the area. In this instance one has to rely on the 2001 Census results for<br />

planning purpose.<br />

The above table indicates a large population inflow to <strong>Emfuleni</strong> municipal area in<br />

contrast with population little outflow. This may be attributed to Housing development<br />

within <strong>Emfuleni</strong> <strong>Municipality</strong> and our proximity to the City of Joburg as the SA economic<br />

hub.<br />
