Uganda Subnational Population Statistics by Age and Sex for 135 Districts, 2023

UNFPA provides projected 2023 population statistics for Uganda, disaggregated by sex and age at national and subnational levels. The data covers the country's 135-district administrative system and is designed for linkage with administrative boundary files. The dataset was last updated on the platform in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Create population density maps based on district-level population counts.
• Analyze age and sex distribution patterns across Uganda's administrative regions.
• Join demographic statistics with administrative boundaries for spatial analysis based on ADM codes.
• Model service demand for age-specific programs like education or healthcare based on projected population figures.

Strengths

• Data is explicitly disaggregated by sex and age, enabling detailed demographic analysis.
• Covers the complete 135-district administrative system of Uganda.
• Designed for direct linkage with official UN administrative boundaries using ADM codes.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is a projection for a single reference year (2023), not a time series.
