Opuwo has no working council website, so numbers are hard to find and harder to trust. This page lists only what we could verify against a live source, with the date we checked. Where a number could not be verified, we say where to go instead of guessing.

Town Tools builds free, public tools for Opuwo and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.
