GeoNames places it at about 15.571 degrees south and 28.270 degrees east. The census of 18 August 2022 counted 54,046 people there, compared with 18,632 at the census of 16 October 2010. City Population compiled that 2022 figure from ward figures of the Central Statistical Office of Zambia. GeoNames lists the main record under the name Chilanga Township.
