Supplementary notes

The source mentioned that totals excluded unspecified grant receipts and that values based on three or less unweighted cases were considered too small to provide accurate estimates and therefore replaced by asterisks.

The source asked people to describe themselves in the census in terms of five racial population groups, including others/unspecified. This is a common way to describe ethnic groups in South Africa
