Zorzor's major ethinc groups include the Kpelle and Loma peoples. The town also contains an American Lutheran church hospital, a leper colony, and a handicrafts workshop. The Zozor Rural Teacher Training institute is located in the nearby town of Fisebu.〔http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/658155/Zorzor〕 Without motorised transport, Zorzor is approximately seven days' walk away from Monrovia. The city's first hospital was the aforementioned Lutheran facility, which was constructed in 1924; local residents were initially suspicious of Western medicinal practices, but they were ultimately convinced by thirty-one years of labor by Esther Bacon, an American nurse who worked at the hospital from 1941 until her 1972 death.〔"Zɔsɔ Sale Pɛrɛi a Kɛ́ a Koraɔ 50/Zorzor Hospital 50 Years Old".

Zorzor's population as of the latest census was 4,752.〔
