Kirundo in context
The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Kirundo plotted against Burundi. The SNDi of new construction in Kirundo was at its lowest in 1976-1990, while Burundi rose steadily. Most recently, Kirundo's incremental SNDi rose from 1.62 to 1.71 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Kirundo ranked 1st out of 10 in Burundi as of 2020.

In new street additions, Kirundo built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns, while Idama fluctuated in its street-construction patterns and Allada built increasingly disconnected streets over time. For the full network, Kirundo became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards, while Idama became progressively more disconnected and Allada became progressively more disconnected. Notably, Kirundo had a more sprawly network than Idama in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
