silkboard - 2 June, 2011 | governance | Citizen Reports | population | Karnataka | census

Vinay mailed these over, provisional data on Karnataka from 2011 Census. Thought it would be worth sharing at this data hungry portal.

Somethings that caught my eye

• Population density of Bangalore district, 2001: 2985, NOW? 4378

Any correlation here?

• Any district where population density did not increase? Yes, Chikmagalur the only one, 158 then, 158 now! Kodagu, almost, 134 then, 135 now!
• Districts that turned the sex ration around? 2! Kodagu from 996 females/1000 males in 2001 to 1019 now! And Chikamagalur, from 984 then, to 1005 now.

Literacy and child population, any correlation?

• Lowest Literacy rate? Yadgir, Raichur
• Highest percentage of population in age group 0-6? Yadgir (1st), Raichur (3rd). Koppal spoils this correlation (2nd)

Numbers are always fascinating, aren't they.
