Rwezamenyo is a sector (umurenge) in the Kigali Province, Nyarugenge district, Rwanda. It is located in the southwest part of the city of Kigali.
Demographics
[edit]In 2012, its population was 16,763 inhabitants.
According to the 2022 census, the sector had a total population of 14,754 inhabitants, including 7,556 males and 7,198 females.[1] The Rwanda Environment Management Authority has hypothesized that the high male-to-female ratio is due to a tendency for men to migrate to the city in search of work outside the agricultural sector, while their wives remained in a rural home.[2] Approximately one quarter of the population (24.1%) is under 15, and 73.3% is between the age of 14 and 64; 2.6% are over the age of 64.[1]
