Lusaka West

Lusaka West 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 15.319 degrees south and 28.110 degrees east. The census of 18 August 2022 counted 21,655 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 census table gives the name as Lusaka West with Nyemba in brackets; it is a separate urban area on the western side of the capital district, not the city of Lusaka itself. The SRTM 90 metre elevation model gives about 1125 metres above sea level at its coordinates, which is highland terrain, and because Zambia has no coastline the settlement lies inland.
