Read this before using these figures
- These are population counts from Census 2011, district-level. They are not voter lists, not electorate figures and not constituency figures.
- A district's shares can differ sharply from any one assembly seat inside it.
- There is no official data on OBC or General castes. The Census counts only Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes; no caste-wise voter data is published by the Election Commission either.

Population counts from Census 2011 — not voters and not constituency-level figures.
Census 2011 is the latest official count. For today's numbers, our field teams run verified surveys — pick what you need and we'll call back with scope and a quote.
What the Census does and does not publish.
Is there official caste-wise (OBC / General) population data?
No. Census 2011 records only Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe status. The Socio-Economic and Caste Census 2011 caste data has not been released, and no official OBC or General count exists for districts or constituencies.
Can I get religion data for my assembly constituency?
Not officially. The Census publishes religion by state, district, tehsil and town — not by assembly or Lok Sabha seat. The figures on our seat pages are for the district the seat lies in, and are labelled that way.
Why are these 2011 figures?
Census 2011 is the latest completed census. The next Census has a reference date of 1 March 2027 (1 October 2026 in snow-bound areas); no results from it have been published yet.
