Kituku

Kituku is a settlement in Tanganyika Province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The country's census tables compiled by City Population list it with 20,820 inhabitants at the census of 1 July 1984 and an estimated 38,340 inhabitants on 1 July 2004, and GeoNames, which places it at latitude -7.58157 and longitude 30.20604, carries a newer population figure of 66,378 for the surrounding settlement. According to the digital elevation model GeoNames uses, the site stands about 783 metres above sea level, and it keeps Central Africa Time (UTC+2). Kituku is not a provincial capital, so it appears in the census tables as one of the country's smaller towns rather than as the seat of a province. The atlas places it in the Middle Africa subregion of Africa and treats it as a city for browsing purposes.
