Sorry, you have to do it from the beginning as the area of The Census sub-place should be calculated as well.

The 4th step is something like:


                        area_of_intersection
number_of_unemployed * ----------------------------
                        area_of__The_Sensus_sub-place


Afterwards: Vector / Data Management Tool / Join attributes by location.

Remember to check "Take summary of intersecting features".

Hi

1.      Thanks for the assistance.  I have done that up until your 3de 
explanation point.
2.      All the Sensus Sub Place data are now "cut" and within each policing district. 
Perhaps any assistance on how I can now get the averages of each of the Sub Place 
"numbers" per policing district.

Regards
Deon

Just an idea:

1. Using the Field calculator add a new column with polygon areas for the 
police district  layer.

2. Create the third layer as an intersection between the Sensus sub-place layer 
and the  police district  layer.

3. Using the Field calculator add a new column with polygon areas. Now you have 
a attribute table to calculate the statistics.

I have a vector layer that exist out of about 1000 polygons of the
different police districts.  Then I have a Sensus sub-place vector layer
with over 10 000 sub-places which indicate the number of unemployed
citizens per polygon.  The Sensus sub-place layer therefor overlaps with
the police districts and when visualize some sub-places can make up 1%
   up to 100% of a given police district.  Most of the police districts
also  contains 4 or more sub-places.  The problem is  I want to
calculate the "approximate" unemployment rate per police district by
using the data from the Sensus sub-place layer.  Is there perhaps an
explanation on how I can determine" approximately proportionally" what
the unemployment is per police district.   I am new to QGIS and not up
to date with programming, however any assistance would be appreciated.
