District-wise Comparison of Population, Decadal Growth, and Child Population: Census 2001 vs. 2011


The table shows how Kerala’s population and child population changed between 2001 and 2011. Kerala’s total population grew by 4.9% during this time. Malappuram had the highest growth at 13.4%, while Pathanamthitta and Idukki saw a drop in population. The population became slightly denser, rising from 819 to 860 people per square kilometre. However, the number of children decreased in all districts. The share of children in the total population fell from 12% in 2001 to 10% in 2011. This drop was bigger in districts like Pathanamthitta, Thiruvananthapuram, and Ernakulam. The data shows that while the total population increased, the number of children went down, suggesting fewer births in Kerala.
