No cities meet the exact criteria: there is no authoritative, up-to-date list of “Poorest Cities in Burkina Faso.”
Note why this search returns nothing. Burkina Faso measures poverty mainly at the household, commune, or province level. National surveys and international reports rarely publish clear city-by-city poverty ranks. City boundaries and administrative units change. That makes a strict list of the “poorest cities” impossible to produce with reliable data.
Use these technical and contextual reasons to understand the gap. National statistics (INSD), the World Bank, and UN agencies collect household surveys and regional estimates, not consistent city-level rates. Ongoing insecurity and displacement in parts of the country also limit recent surveys. Different studies use different poverty lines and methods, so direct city comparisons are not valid without careful modelling or local surveys.
Check these close alternatives instead. Look at poverty by province or region, commune-level proxies, multidimensional poverty indices, or humanitarian vulnerability maps from INSD, World Bank, UNDP, FEWS NET, and OCHA. For near matches, inspect province and regional reports (for example, northern Sahel provinces such as Oudalan and Soum frequently show high vulnerability in national reports), urban neighborhood studies in Ouagadougou or Bobo-Dioulasso, and food insecurity hot-spot maps. Explore those sources to build a defensible, transparent list using province/commune proxies rather than an unsupported city ranking.
