How Rwanda's 3.29 million households are distributed by size, from the Seventh Integrated Household Living Conditions Survey (EICV7), fielded from late October 2023 to early October 2024. The average household holds 4.1 people and half hold between two and four. The sharper split is urban against rural: one in seven urban households is a single person, against one in twelve rural (14.1% against 8.5%). Seven indicators, each broken down one dimension at a time by area of residence, province, consumption quintile or sex of the head of household. Source is table 1.8 of the EICV7 Main Indicators Report; the machine-readable copy is fetched from the RISA Data Sharing Platform (data.gov.rw) and cross-checked against page 26 of the report.
