According to allcitypopulation, Cameroon is a diverse country which is home to over 200 distinct linguistic and ethnic groups. The population of Cameroon is estimated to be around 24 million people as of 2020. The majority of the population resides in the western and southern parts of the country, with the highest concentration being in the cities such as Yaoundé and Douala. The main ethnic groups in Cameroon are Bantu, Fulani, Kirdi, and Hamitic peoples. The official language is French but there are also many other languages spoken including English, Ewondo, Fulfulde, Ngemba, Duala and more. The median age in Cameroon is 19 years old with a life expectancy of 59 years for males and 61 years for females. According to the World Bank estimates from 2019, nearly 40% of Cameroon’s population lives below the poverty line. Additionally, there has been a growing urbanization trend in recent years with almost half of Cameroon’s population now living in urban areas. As a result of this urbanization trend, many rural areas have become increasingly underserved by basic services such as education and health care. This lack of access to basic services has had an impact on overall quality of life for many people living in rural areas. See ejinhua for Cameroon Population and Language.
