Ruiru, a town in Kenya, has a notably young population. Numerous colleges and universities in and around the area largely influence this demographic trend. Institutions such as Zetech University, Kenyatta University, and the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology are nearby, attracting many students and young professionals. Additionally, Ruiru's proximity to Nairobi, only about 26 kilometres away, makes it an attractive residential area for young people seeking affordable housing while working or studying in the capital. The town's growing infrastructure, including modern housing developments and recreational facilities, further appeals to the younger demographic. Moreover, Ruiru's rapid urbanization and industrial growth provide ample employment opportunities, drawing young job seekers. Various industries and business enterprises in Ruiru's economic zones create a vibrant job market, particularly appealing to recent graduates.

[@Villagetotowntv]

Thank you

[@githendurichard8321]

I heard the name came from its colour, its never clear due probably to the soil as you mentioned. there is also another Ruiru river in Nyeri or Muranga where the famous mau mau battle was fought

[@Villagetotowntv]

Great insight. I too have also heard a lot about Rui Ruiru

[@lydiamburia4113]

RUIRU: The 4th Biggest CITY in Kenya that Never Was!! This is what We Saw! BOTH RUIRU AND THIKA OUGHT TO BE UPGRADED TO CITY STATUS.

[@Villagetotowntv]

Sure, thanks

[@kingkevin442]

It's still a typical, disorganized red soiled Mt Kenya town.

[@oumaedwin198]

That is fake statistics, is Ruiru bigger than Thika...

[@Villagetotowntv]

@@oumaedwin198 Thika is a town, Ruiru is a constituency. How do you compare the two?

[@williamwatitwa3534]

Both within nairobi metro , their will only be one city,nairobi

[@Allankinyanjui-h4w]

i highly recommend that you visit Kagwe town in Lari sub county your content is the best Mr. lonely traveler gudos👍

[@Villagetotowntv]

Thank you, very soon

[@MaryAngelKanyamosi]

Ruiru sikuzotea 💢🎉🎉

[@Villagetotowntv]

Kabisa!

[@dmindahouse]

All this driving around. I'm surprised you haven't contacted Google and joined their mapping squad

[@Villagetotowntv]

Hahha chorea hizo

[@dmindahouse]

@@Villagetotowntv 👀 lol

[@Dennis_Okelo]

Toll, Kahawa Sukari, Kahawa Wendani, Githurai 45, etc all attribute to the population, and are also part of Ruiru City. I forgot Tatu City. The population demographics also make it worthy of a city status because two wards have MCA's from other communities besides the predominant Kiuks. Again, I was counted in Wendani where I have lived for 9 years

[@Villagetotowntv]

True, Ruiru is a cosmopolitant town

[@oumaedwin198]

Size is not determined by population otherswise Onitsa in Nigeria is bigger than Nairobi.

[@Villagetotowntv]

sure

[@moseskariuki6461]

Rural urban migration is the cause of few elderly people there , remember most people in ruiru have bought land there and migrated from other places,so few elderly guys

[@Villagetotowntv]

It makes a lot of sense. Thank you

[@oumaedwin198]

If Ruiru consituency has population 341... How does Ruiru town becomes more populated than Kisumu City?

[@Villagetotowntv]

You can check out in the KNBS database. Everything is there. Thanks

[@oumaedwin198]

@@Villagetotowntv Simple logic, how many consituencies are in Ruiriu city. Kisumu city has 3 cpnsituencies, East, west and Central. Add their population and you will get Kisumu city. How many consituencies are in Ruiru... Is it Ruiru and Juja? or Ruiru alone. If Ruiru alone, then Ruiru population should be equivalent to Ruiru city's population. Census are just human propagation.

[@tyris54]

Rongai need to be a City.. Ruiru is a residential area of Nairobi just like Rongai or Mlolongo. ... Because i can't see any CBD of a city there in your video... Everything is shambolic

[@Villagetotowntv]

lol be nice to Ruiru city bana

[@Moses-ox4mk]

Ata kondele town in Kisumu city beats ruiru town.ruiru is only populated and not big like Nakuru town

[@SamuelKamau-v3s]

You need to correct your city ranking because it's not correct

[@Villagetotowntv]

Where is the correct one? list it here

[@BMA19051]

When we refer to the largest urban centres in Kenya, we are talking about the most populous and developed areas, including cities and towns. It's important to note that classifying an area as a "city" or "town" does not always correlate directly with its size or population. For instance, Ruiru is classified as a town but has a larger population than the cities of Kisumu and Eldoret. Similarly, Nakuru is larger than Kisumu in population but is ranked as the fourth largest city in Kenya. Here are some additional facts: The distinction between cities and towns in Kenya is often based on administrative status rather than size. Nakuru, though smaller than Nairobi and Mombasa, is the third-largest city in terms of population. Ruiru, part of the Nairobi Metropolitan Area, has experienced rapid growth due to urban sprawl and is now more populous than some cities. Kisumu, located on the shores of Lake Victoria, is a significant urban centre in western Kenya but has a smaller population than Nakuru and Ruiru. Eldoret, known for its high-altitude training centres for athletes, is another major urban centre but smaller than Ruiru in terms of population. Understanding these distinctions helps recognise the dynamic nature of urban growth and development in Kenya.

[@kingkevin442]

City?😅Ruiru looks like a village compared Eastleigh nd Westlands..

[@Villagetotowntv]

Hahhaa be nice to Ruiru

[@BMA19051]

You are funny eastleigh and Westland are in Nairobi ruiru is a town in Kiambu county

[@oumaedwin198]

How many consituencies are under Ruiru town? Jagged up things full of exaggeration. 500B is impossible for the Uhurus. The top ten richest africans dont own that much . All these about Ruiru is nonsensical, how can one consituency town has more population than the towns itself. The rest of Ruiru town residents stay in which consituency?

[@Villagetotowntv]

What they dont tell you is that the constituency starts from Githurai, Wendani, etc. Those places are super populated
