    Census 2024

    If Uganda were 100 people…

    Millions are hard to picture. So we shrank everyone counted in the 2024 census down to 100. Each dot is one person, one home, one child or one young person: every section says which.

    Of every 100 people in Uganda…

    50 are children under 18.

    Exactly 49.6% · Children (0–17)

    11 have a birth certificate.

    Exactly 11.4% · People with a birth certificate

    6 use the internet.

    Exactly 6.1% · Internet users (per 100 people)

    Just 1 has health insurance.

    Of every 100 homes in Uganda…

    25 get electricity from the grid.

    Exactly 25.3% · Households on grid electricity

    44 have an improved toilet.

    Exactly 43.6% · Households with improved toilets

    7 have no toilet at all.

    Exactly 6.7% · Households with no toilet

    87 have a mosquito net.

    Exactly 87.2% · Households with a mosquito net

    41 own a radio.

    Exactly 41.0% · Households with a radio

    23 own a TV.

    Exactly 23.1% · Households with a TV

    33 live mainly off their own farming.

    Exactly 33.1% · Households in subsistence farming

    Of every 100 children aged 6–12 in Uganda…

    26 are not in school.

    Exactly 26.0% · Children 6–12 out of school

    Of every 100 young people aged 18–30 in Uganda…

    51 are not in work, school or training.

    Exactly 50.9% · Youth 18–30 not in work, school or training

    How this works

    Each number is a percentage from the 2024 census, rounded to a whole “out of 100”, so a few may be off by one. Home figures (power, water, toilets…) are shares of households, not of people. District figures come from the same census via UBOS’s census portal. Explore every district on the map →
