Sampling
Sampling for CAS 2005 was designed to generate a representative sample of 1200 adults spread across metropolitan Cape Town. A two-stage cluster sample design was used. First, a sample of seventy 'enumerator areas' (EAs) was selected. Secondly, a sample of about 1820 households was selected in these EAs. Anticipated different response rates in different kinds of areas required oversampling in some areas.
