Rwezamenyo is a sector (umurenge) in the City of Kigali, Nyarugenge District, Rwanda. It is located in the southwest part of the city of Kigali.
Geography
[edit]It has an elevation of 1524 meters.[1] It is, as of 2026, the smallest sector by square kilometers in Rwanda with an area of 1.027 square kilometers.[2]
Demographics
[edit]In 2012, its population was 16,763 inhabitants, and a gender ratio of 8,718 male to 8,045 females.[3]
According to the 2022 census, the sector had a total population of 14,754 inhabitants, including 7,556 males and 7,198 females.[4]
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.[5]
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.[4]
It is the second smallest by population in Kigali only being beaten out by the Kikukiro Sector, in the Kicukiro District.

[edit]Nyarugenge district is divided into 10 sectors (imirenge): Gitega, Kanyinya, Kigali, Kimisagara, Mageragere, Muhima, Nyakabanda, Nyamirambo, Nyarugenge, and Rwezamenyo.[6]
