8 The mid-year estimates of the population were revised. The estimates for 1970 to 1991 are obtained through the above-mentioned information, as well as the computation of the 1970, 1980 and 1985 population censuses. It should also be noted that the mid-year estimates will differ from the census data because the data refer to different dates. The mid-year estimates are estimates as at 30 June of the year concerned, while the census data reflect the situations as on the date of each census. 1 000 ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ----------- |Mid- | Total population | African/Black | Coloured | Indian/Asian | White | |year.
