This section covers the Imagemapping part of the Malta 1995 Census Project. A series of maps have been created for interactive use. The maps are divided into 10 categories as indicated in the titlebar above, each with links to specific maps. Each of these sections depicts interactive map examples. These maps, as well as a large number of other maps, can be generated by users depending on attribute choice by utilising the CensArc section of this site.
This page gives an overview of the following:
The section below depicts 3 Summary tables for the different Spatial Data Aggregations available as Imagemaps. To access data relevant to each of the Census categories click on the relevant section in the titlebar above (listed in full in the table below).

Spatial Data Aggregations
Enumeration Areas (EAs) - Geographic areas representing 150-180 households each. Not analysed in this study. However 2 maps have been published for user familiarisation. One map depicts all the Maltese Islands EAS (843) whilst the second map represents a more detailed description of Valletta and Floriana EAs.
Local Councils - Smallest level analysed in this study (67 Councils at time of Census 1995 - 53 in Malta and 14 in Gozo & Comino). These are administrative areas with executive power over specific services and functions. Aggregations of these councils for higher level districts such as the Education, Police, Electoral and Health Districts which fall under central governance.
Census Regions - Higher level aggregates designated by the Central Office of Statistics (6 Regions) soley for Census purposes.
Local Plan Areas - Higher level aggregates designated by the Planning Authority (7 Areas) for planning purposes. Some Local Plans cross Local Council boundaries.
The map icons used in this Census are listed below. Each icon is indicative of map type and serve as hotlinks to the specific category map.
