Segregation and socio-economic sorting in Gauteng
The August Map of the Month uses a bivariate mapping technique to examine both the racial diversity and income level of each ward. The map highlights the small number of wards in Gauteng where racial diversity and household income are both very high the many wards in Gauteng where racial diversity and household income are both very low.

A method for mapping high resolution Gross Value Added and its changes between 2012 and 2021 in Gauteng
In the May 2024 map we experiment with quantifying economic activity at a ward level across the province using satellite imagery. The resulting map – built on satellite imagery of nighttime lights, population data and subregional Gross Value Added (GVA) – shows modelled distribution and change in GVA at a ward level between 2012 and 2021

Spatial changes in Gauteng’s formal manufacturing jobs: 2014 – 2022
This Map of the Month makes use of a new dataset to examine changes in manufacturing employment in Gauteng at a level of detail that has not been possible before. While the overall story is one of deindustrialisation and the loss of jobs in manufacturing, the mapping shows a nuanced picture of employment losses in some areas and gains in others.
