    Ruiru, a town in Kenya, has a notably young population. Numerous colleges and universities in and around the area largely influence this demographic trend. Institutions such as Zetech University, Kenyatta University, and the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology are nearby, attracting many students and young professionals.
    Additionally, Ruiru's proximity to Nairobi, only about 26 kilometres away, makes it an attractive residential area for young people seeking affordable housing while working or studying in the capital. The town's growing infrastructure, including modern housing developments and recreational facilities, further appeals to the younger demographic.
    Moreover, Ruiru's rapid urbanization and industrial growth provide ample employment opportunities, drawing young job seekers. Various industries and business enterprises in Ruiru's economic zones create a vibrant job market, particularly appealing to recent graduates.

    Toll, Kahawa Sukari, Kahawa Wendani, Githurai 45, etc all attribute to the population, and are also part of Ruiru City. I forgot Tatu City. The population demographics also make it worthy of a city status because two wards have MCA's from other communities besides the predominant Kiuks. Again, I was counted in Wendani where I have lived for 9 years

    If Ruiru consituency has population 341... How does Ruiru town becomes more populated than Kisumu City?

      @@Villagetotowntv Simple logic, how many consituencies are in Ruiriu city.
      Kisumu city has 3 cpnsituencies, East, west and Central. Add their population and you will get Kisumu city. How many consituencies are in Ruiru... Is it Ruiru and Juja? or Ruiru alone. If Ruiru alone, then Ruiru population should be equivalent to Ruiru city's population. Census are just human propagation.

      When we refer to the largest urban centres in Kenya, we are talking about the most populous and developed areas, including cities and towns. It's important to note that classifying an area as a "city" or "town" does not always correlate directly with its size or population. For instance, Ruiru is classified as a town but has a larger population than the cities of Kisumu and Eldoret. Similarly, Nakuru is larger than Kisumu in population but is ranked as the fourth largest city in Kenya.
      Here are some additional facts:
      The distinction between cities and towns in Kenya is often based on administrative status rather than size.
      Nakuru, though smaller than Nairobi and Mombasa, is the third-largest city in terms of population.
      Ruiru, part of the Nairobi Metropolitan Area, has experienced rapid growth due to urban sprawl and is now more populous than some cities.
      Kisumu, located on the shores of Lake Victoria, is a significant urban centre in western Kenya but has a smaller population than Nakuru and Ruiru.
      Eldoret, known for its high-altitude training centres for athletes, is another major urban centre but smaller than Ruiru in terms of population.
      Understanding these distinctions helps recognise the dynamic nature of urban growth and development in Kenya.

    How many consituencies are under Ruiru town?
    Jagged up things full of exaggeration. 500B is impossible for the Uhurus. The top ten richest africans dont own that much .
    All these about Ruiru is nonsensical, how can one consituency town has more population than the towns itself. The rest of Ruiru town residents stay in which consituency?

    • @Villagetotowntv
      @Villagetotowntv  Před 12 dny

      What they dont tell you is that the constituency starts from Githurai, Wendani, etc. Those places are super populated
