The population of Sengerema, while not definitively documented in readily available updated sources, is considered to be substantial, reflecting its importance as a district headquarters and regional trading center. Local governance is administered through the Sengerema District Council.

Sengerema, like many towns in Tanzania, faces challenges related to infrastructure development, access to clean water and sanitation, and healthcare services. Efforts are ongoing to improve these conditions and promote sustainable development in the area.
