The production of census district datasheets from the 2012 populationcensus is part of the on-going in-depth analysis of the census data.

This census datasheet summarizes provincial and district profile todescribe demographic, social and economic characteristics of thepopulation. Information from the datasheet can be used to identify areasthat might require urgent attention at national and/ or sub-national levels.

1. Ranking: Summary ExplanationThe ranking of the districts among the districts and provinces thatZimbabwe counts provides very useful information on where thedistrict/province stands in the country. The ranking done is from 1 (worst)to 100 (best). Thus, by looking at the page with the indicators one cansee immediately if the overall situation is good or bad (as compared tothe other districts/ provinces) and where the problem areas are. Theranking is a simple one and is not corrected for alphabetical similarities.

2. The Composite Index: Summary ExplanationThe composite index summarizes the census information in ONE composite index. It combines key social indicators into a compositedeprivation index to trace the most deprived areas. The information isused to facilitate geographical targeting. Beyond demographics,education and living standard indicators, the composite index can beused to show patterns of social development outcomes across areas and population groups, with focus on children, youth and women.

Zimstat wishes to appreciate this initiative by the United NationsChildren’s Fund, (UNICEF), as well as the financial assistance that made it possible to develop the datasheets using data obtained from the 2012 Population Census. The sheets should provide a very valuablesource of information for evidence-based decision making forgovernment departments, local authorities, development partners, the donor community and the Zimbabwe population in general.
