Quality of life disparities within wards in Gauteng
This Map of the Month shows inequalities in quality of life within wards across the Gauteng province. Using data from GCRO’s Quality of Life (QoL) Survey 7 (2023/24), this map shows how some wards have significantly greater disparities in the Quality of Life Index scores of their residents than others, and considers possible reasons for this relative inequality.

Gauteng commuters’ frequent travel times
The October 2024 map of the month uses QoL 7 (2023/24) data to analyse Gauteng residents’ travel times across the province, focusing on the shortest travel times of up to 15 minutes and the longest ones of more than 45 minutes. In addition to illustrating spatial differences across wards, the analysis disaggregates trip times by mode of transport and some demographic variables. It also shows how travel times were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the changes since QoL 6 (2020/21).
