Sex ratio by age group and province, the Gender Parity Index for primary and secondary educational attainment, the share of household heads who are female, and the employment-to-population ratio gender gap by province and district -- drawn from Rwanda's Fifth Population and Housing Census (2022). Source is PHC5-2022_Gender_Thematic_Report_published_final.xlsx (397 KB, 61 sheets), a direct static download from the NISR portal. RPHC4 (2012) gender data exists only as a PDF (RPHC4_Gender.pdf, no Excel companion), so this is a single-census-year (2022) snapshot, like `rw.nisr.phc-migration.irregular`.

| geography_level | string | Geographic level -- national, province, or district | - |
| area | string | Urban/rural breakdown -- total, urban, or rural. topic=sex_ratio and gpi_education are always area=total; female_headship and epr_gender_gap publish total/urban/rural. | - |
| sex | string | Sex breakdown -- female, male, or both_sexes. Null for topic=sex_ratio and gpi_education, where the value column itself is the male/female comparison metric. | - |
| age_group | string | 5-year age group (e.g. "20-24") or "total". Populated only for topic=sex_ratio and gpi_education. Null for female_headship and epr_gender_gap. | - |
