Chiengi

Eastern Africa

Chiengi is a settlement in Zambia's Luapula Province, recorded by GeoNames as a populated place and counted as an urban area in the national census. GeoNames places it at about 8.660 degrees south and 29.161 degrees east. The census of 18 August 2022 counted 15,165 people there, compared with 3,623 at the census of 16 October 2010. City Population compiled that 2022 figure from ward figures of the Central Statistical Office of Zambia. The name is also written Chienge, a variant that both GeoNames and the census table record. The SRTM 90 metre elevation model gives about 991 metres above sea level at its coordinates, which is highland terrain, and because Zambia has no coastline the settlement lies inland.
