Dar es Salaam , formerly Mzizima, is the largest city (population 2,500,000 estimated 2003), economic centre and former capital of Tanzania. Though inland Dodoma is the official capital, the vast majority of federal government employees live in Dar and most major political figures maintain residences here. Located on a harbour on the Indian Ocean, . About one half of Tanzania's manufacturing employment is located here despite the fact that Dar holds only ten percent of the population.
Though the city has a low violent crime rate, this is increasing along with the already high number of instances of theft as inequality increases and the amount of money available from Tanzania's thriving aid industry increases.
Dar es Salaam is broken into 3 districts:
Ilala,
Kinondoni,
and Temeke
