ⓘ Data source note: Clan count (44) and chiefdom count (42) are from the Sinoe County Development Agenda (CDA), the official administrative record. Individual district clan breakdowns and town-level data in the District Profiles below are from the 2022 LISGIS Village-Level Enumeration Survey (field census), extracted from liberia_2022_pop_clans_villages_towns.xlsx, Sheet: Sinoe. The Enumeration Survey covers 17 of 20 administrative districts (Greenville, Bokon, Butaw, Kpayan, Juarzon, Jaedae, Seekon, Kulu Shaw Boe, Jeadepo, Pynes Town, Plahn Nyarn, Bodae, Wedjah, Sanquin Dist#2, Sanquin Dist# 1, Sanquin Dist# 3, and Dugbe River). Districts not covered by the Enumeration Survey: Jlah, Krah (Kran), Sarboh, and Bar-Nakay: these retain "pending" placeholders. The Enumeration Survey total (102,391) is a subset of the official LISGIS Table B county total (151,149). Towns/Villages (623) and Clan (112) figures are from the Enumeration Survey. Both sources are cited for transparency; readers may use whichever figure best suits their purpose.

District Profiles

Population figures (LISGIS, grey pill) are from the 2022 LISGIS Census, Table B, the official county district totals. Clans, towns/villages and enumerated population figures are from the 2022 LISGIS Enumeration Survey (field census). Sinoe's most striking demographic feature is the extraordinary concentration in Greenville District (18.9%) and the pronounced male majority across 18 of 20 districts. Only Bar-Nakay (50.6% female) and Plahn (50.3% female) have female majorities. Jaedae has the highest male proportion at 57.5%.
