About these numbers
From the National Population and Housing Census 2024. Shares are worked out from UBOS’s counts for Zombo. The West Nile and Uganda figures come from summed counts, not averages. “Highest of 146” ranks show where Zombo sits among all districts and cities, from highest value down. For some indicators, a high rank is good news; for others it isn’t.
Note: UBOS's mobile phone ownership table currently repeats the internet-use figures, so phone ownership is left out.
