The rent layer, and what it is not

Switching the map to Rent shades the 29 assemblies from cheapest to dearest. Before you use it, know exactly what you are looking at.

Districts too varied for one band to mean much

In these, the difference between one neighbourhood and the next inside the same assembly is larger than the gap between two bands.

• Accra Metropolitan — Accra Central, Jamestown, Korle Gonno, Chorkor
• Ga East Municipal — Haatso, Dome, Abokobi
• Ga North Municipal — Ofankor, Pokuase
• Ga South Municipal — Weija outskirts, Bortianor, Ngleshie Amanfro
• Ga West Municipal — Amasaman, Pokuase
• Korle-Klottey Municipal — Ridge, Osu, Labone, North Ridge
• Kpone Katamanso Municipal — Kpone, Katamanso, Michel Camp
• La Dade Kotopon Municipal — Cantonments, Labone, Airport Hills, Burma Camp
• Ningo Prampram — Prampram, Dawhenya, Afienya
• Weija Gbawe Municipal — Weija, Gbawe, McCarthy Hill

If you know a band is wrong, say so. The neighbourhoods behind each call are published precisely so they can be argued with.

Where this comes from

Nothing here is drawn by hand or remembered. The boundaries are real, the constituency list is checked against its own source, and every landmark coordinate was looked up rather than guessed.

• Region and district boundaries — geoBoundaries, which carries Ghana's districts from the Ghana Statistical Service and its regions from OpenStreetMap. CC BY 4.0.
• District capitals and constituencies — the Wikipedia list of parliamentary constituencies, which reproduces the Electoral Commission's tables. The build refuses to publish unless every region's constituency count matches that article's own summary table, and unless all 34 Greater Accra seats land on a district.
• Population, age, sex, ethnicity and employment — Ghana Statistical Service, 2021 Population and Housing Census, through the StatsBank API. Real counts at district level: the 2021 census uses the post-2018 assemblies, so it joins to these 29 without any fudging. The build refuses to publish unless the district populations sum to the published regional total of 5,455,692, which is what catches a sub-metro counted twice or an assembly dropped.
• Landmark coordinates — OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL. Two places that belong on this list are missing because OpenStreetMap has no record to point at, and a guessed coordinate is worse than an absent one.

Boundaries reflect the districts as constituted after the 2018 reorganisation. Data generated 2026-09-08.
