Mapalo

Eastern Africa

Mapalo is a settlement in Zambia's Copperbelt Province, recorded by GeoNames as a populated place and counted as an urban area in the national census. GeoNames places it at about 12.937 degrees south and 28.672 degrees east. The census of 18 August 2022 counted 26,986 people there, and the published table gives no figure for it in the earlier census years. City Population compiled that 2022 figure from ward figures of the Central Statistical Office of Zambia. The SRTM 90 metre elevation model gives about 1242 metres above sea level at its coordinates, which is highland terrain, and because Zambia has no coastline the settlement lies inland.
