Chilongolo

Eastern Africa

Chilongolo is a settlement in Zambia's Lusaka Province, recorded by GeoNames as a populated place and counted as an urban area in the national census. GeoNames places it at about 15.492 degrees south and 28.165 degrees east. The census of 18 August 2022 counted 13,662 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 1233 metres above sea level at its coordinates, which is highland terrain, and because Zambia has no coastline the settlement lies inland.
