This is a list of cities in Somalia by population. As of March 2017, the country has an estimated population of 14,243,849 inhabitants.[1] According to the Central Intelligence Agency, the total population count in Somalia is complicated by internal movements of nomads and individuals displaced during the civil war.[1] CIA estimates are extrapolated from the Somali national census of February 1975.[1] As of 1992, towns are defined as all communities with 5,000 or more persons, as well as any regional or district headquarters, regardless of size.[2] There is little reliable statistical information on urbanization in Somalia. However, rough estimates have been made indicating a rate of urbanization of 7.2% per annum (2016–10 est.), with many towns quickly growing into cities.[1]
