The town is inhabited by the Reer Mohamuud and Reer Faarah subclans of the Jibriil Yoonis and the Habar Cafaan subclan, both branches of the Gadabuursi Dir clan.^[1][2][3]

Filipo Ambrosio (1994) describes Lefe Isa as being predominantly Gadabuursi:

"Jarso and Geri then sought refuge on 'neutral' adjacent Gadabursi territory in Heregel, Jarre and Lefeisa."^[4]
