The census data usually comes on DVDs and needs to be installed on a Windows machine (yuck!). We can install it on the day on your machine. Alternatively, you’ll have access to some of it view the hard-to-find SuperWeb interface online. Also, you can ask me to extract specific datasets on the day. The same applies to the Labour Force Survey and other StatsSA data.
