Nord Lazaret is a district ( French : quartier ) in the Arrondissement Niamey II of the city of Niamey in Niger .

geography

North Lazaret is located in the north of the urban parish of Niamey. The neighboring districts are North Faisceau in the north, Dan Zama Koira in the northeast, Cité Député in the east, Banizoumbou II in the southeast, Lazaret in the south and Cité Chinoise in the west. The district extends over an area of ​​about 157 hectares and, like the entire north of Niamey, lies in a table land with a layer of sand less than 2.5 meters deep, which means that only limited infiltration is possible.

The standard scheme for street names in Nord Lazaret is Rue LZ 1 , where the French Rue for street is followed by the abbreviation LZ for Lazaret and finally a number. This goes back to a project to name streets in Niamey in 2002, in which the city was divided into 44 zones, each with its own letter abbreviations. These zones do not necessarily coincide with the administrative boundaries of the eponymous districts. The rue LZ 1 scheme is used in the districts of Lazaret, Banizoumbou II and Nord Lazaret.

At the 2012 census, North Lazaret had 26,124 inhabitants who lived in 4,150 households.
