Chinsali is the capital of Zambia's Muchinga Province, the seat of provincial administration, and one of the larger urban centres of the country. GeoNames places it at about 10.541 degrees south and 32.082 degrees east. The census of 18 August 2022 counted 38,805 people there, compared with 15,198 at the census of 16 October 2010. City Population compiled that 2022 figure from ward figures of the Central Statistical Office of Zambia. The SRTM 90 metre elevation model gives about 1285 metres above sea level at its coordinates, which is highland terrain, and because Zambia has no coastline the settlement lies inland.
