Lubwe

Eastern Africa

Lubwe 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 11.117 degrees south and 29.646 degrees east. The census of 18 August 2022 counted 12,643 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. GeoNames also records the name Saint Joseph's for it. The SRTM 90 metre elevation model gives about 1180 metres above sea level at its coordinates, which is highland terrain, and because Zambia has no coastline the settlement lies inland.
