Population projections – district level, LGD boundaries (2012-2031)
Description
MOHFW population projections scaled to current Local Government
Directory (LGD) district boundaries. Annual projections from 2012 to
2031, summed across age groups from population_projections_district_lgd_age().
Usage
population_projections_district_lgd
Format
A tibble with 15,660 rows and 6 columns:
- year
Projection year (annual, 2012-2031)
- state_name_harmonized
Harmonized state name for joining. Dadra &
Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu appear merged as one UT (their 2020
administrative merger); the LGD source has no district-level way to
split them back apart.
- district
District name (LGD naming convention)
- males
Projected male population
- females
Projected female population
- population
Projected total population (males + females)
Known defects
Derived from population_projections_district_age() by area overlap, so
district sums do not exactly reproduce population_projections_state,
and Karnataka inherits the age tables' disagreement with
population_projections_district.
Theni (Tamil Nadu) is NA for 2017-2031, and Moga (Punjab) and Tapi
(Gujarat) for 2022-2026, as in population_projections_district_age(). Use
population_projections_district for totals in those years.
