Data vintage. This map uses the 2011 Census, the latest published count by state and district. Populations and shares will have changed since.
Data note. The Census of India is taken once a decade. The 2011 Census is the latest to publish state and district tables, and the next census is planned for 2027, so there is no later official count to replace these figures. Shares, ratios and populations will have moved since 2011.
