Social Statistics - Poverty Indicators
Census statistics have been used to derive the following Millennium Development Goal indicators. Other poverty indicators will be derived from a Household Income and Expenditure (Economic) survey, planned to be conducted in 2006. Preparation for this survey is currently in progress.

All sources of water and types of sanitation methods were combined in
the Census question, so this is an indication only (ie households stated all
sources of water available).
2 Secure tenure is based on land ownership of the main house
(personal, family, leased), insecure tenure is 'other' ownership
