Nioki

Nioki is a settlement in Maï-Ndombe Province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The country's census tables compiled by City Population list it with 21,909 inhabitants at the census of 1 July 1984 and an estimated 35,900 inhabitants on 1 July 2004, and GeoNames, which places it at latitude -2.72037 and longitude 17.69001, carries a newer population figure of 62,153 for the surrounding settlement. According to the digital elevation model GeoNames uses, the site stands about 326 metres above sea level, and it keeps West Africa Time (UTC+1). Nioki 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.
