Information About

Region 2 (johannesburg)




Region 2 is an administrative district in the city of Johannesburg , South Africa . It is known as the Midrand region. It borders Region 3 ( Sandton ), Region 7 ( Modderfontein ), and Region 1 ( Diepsloot ).

The development of Region 2 has traditionally centred around the N1 , the main highway that links Johannesburg to Pretoria to the north. Housing in Region 2 is mostly formal with many affluent suburbs. Midrand has not had much significant development, so a lot of open space remains. Region 2 currently has a population of 200,000. While many people in Region 2 are wealthy, the vast majority of residents are poor: 36% earn no reported income at all.
