Distribution
In 2001, the Iraqw population was estimated to number around 462,000 individuals.
Their core area of inhabitation is Iraqw’ar Da/aw (or Mama Issara) in the Mbulu Highlands. It has long been known for its intensive cultivation, and referred to as an "island" within a matrix of less intensive cultivation.
The areas surrounding Karatu town in the Arusha region are also predominantly settled by the Iraqw.
