dc.description	This report presents findings from the 1991 survey of Katutura, Windhoek’s largest residential area for the African population. Developed in the late 1950s under apartheid-era policies, Katutura has undergone significant demographic and social changes, particularly after Namibian independence. The survey aimed to document the township’s population characteristics and assess the scale and impact of recent urban migration. The report analyzes individual and family-level data on demographics, economic status, housing, social challenges, and migration histories. Findings show that rapid urbanization has contributed to high unemployment, housing shortages, complex social issues, and a high proportion of non-conjugal family units.	en_US
