Appendix 3: Glossary
2002 Population Census: This refers to the number of persons who were physically at the place of enumeration during the census night of 17/18 August 2012, irrespective of their status of residency, nationality or citizenship.
De facto/de jure: A population census can be taken either on a de facto or on a de jure basis. The latter involves enumerating people at their place or usual residence, while the former requires them to be enumerated at the place where they were physically located during the census reference period. The 2012 census in Zimbabwe was conducted on a de facto basis, relating to the night of the 17/18 of August. This means that all those people who spent the night of the 17/18 of August in Zimbabwe were counted, irrespective of their citizenship, nationality or residence status. Consequently, Zimbabweans who were out of the country on the census night were not counted.
Sex Ratio: The number of males per 100 females
Intercensal Population Growth Rate: The average annual rate of growth between 2002 and 2012, expressed as a percentage. It is assumed that the population is growing geometrically.
Population Density: The number of persons per square kilometre. This is simply the population divided by the surface area of the country/province.
Household: A household, as defined for the 2012 Population Census, is a person or group of persons who stayed the Census Night, i.e. Friday night of the 17th of August, together in a dwelling unit, whether or not they were related by blood or marriage
Household Size: The number of persons per household. This is the population divided by the number of households in the country/province.
