Rwanda's Population Profile: A Comprehensive Overview
Demographic Features of Rwandan Population
Population Density
Rwanda is characterized by a high population density, with over 1,300 people per square kilometer as of 2022. This density has increased significantly over the past few decades, due in part to the country's rapid urbanization.Ethnicity
Rwanda's population is primarily composed of three ethnic groups: the Hutu (84.4%), the Tutsi (14.9%), and the Twa (0.7%).Education
Literacy rates in Rwanda have improved markedly over the past decade, with over 90% of the adult population being able to read and write. The country has also made significant progress in increasing access to higher education.Health
Rwanda has made significant strides in improving its healthcare system, resulting in increased life expectancy and reduced infant mortality rates. However, challenges remain in addressing chronic diseases and malnutrition.Rwanda's Population Density: Historical and Projected Trends
The table below shows the population density of Rwanda from 1950 to 2024, based on United Nations projections. The projections extend through the year 2100. | Year | Population Density (inhabitants/km²) | | ----------- | ----------- | | 1950 | 69 | | 1960 | 93 | | 1970 | 123 | | 1980 | 165 | | 1990 | 215 | | 2000 | 286 | | 2010 | 343 | | 2020 | 443 | | 2024 | 473 | | 2100 | 1021 |
As the table shows, Rwanda's population density has been increasing steadily over the past several decades, and is projected to continue increasing in the future. This growth is expected to be driven by continued urbanization and population growth.
