Gbarpolu County Demography

Population (General)
Until the results of the national census are published in 2008, we rely on older estimates. Prior to the war, the 1984 census placed the population of the area of Lower Lofa that eventually became Gbarpolu at 131,227, while a projection by the Liberia Institute of Statistics and Geo-Information Systems (LISGIS) estimated the population at 120,739 people. Households in Gbarpolu County are said to have an average size of 5.49 persons, higher than the national average of 5.6. The County’s dependency ratio is 1.20. Households are headed primarily by men (91%), again higher than the national average of 87%. Elder-headed households account for some 8%, about the same as the national average.
