Banjul's shrinking census count

The island capital's population count has declined while the wider urban region has grown.

The preliminary 2024 census counts 26,461 people in Banjul LGA, compared with 44,188 in 1983 and 31,054 in 2013. These are administrative-area counts, not a measure of Half Die or any one neighbourhood. [gbos-2024]

In the same table, Brikama LGA rises to 1,151,128 in 2024. The contrast describes an uneven national geography; it does not by itself identify why any particular family moved or establish that every former Banjul resident went to Brikama. [gbos-2024]
