Mbanza-Ngungu

Mbanza-Ngungu is a settlement in Kongo Central Province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The country's census tables compiled by City Population list it with 44,782 inhabitants at the census of 1 July 1984 and an estimated 82,466 inhabitants on 1 July 2004, and GeoNames, which places it at latitude -5.25837 and longitude 14.85838, carries a newer population figure of 142,773 for the surrounding settlement. According to the digital elevation model GeoNames uses, the site stands about 735 metres above sea level, and it keeps West Africa Time (UTC+1). Mbanza-Ngungu 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.
