Abstract:

This dataset presents the estimated population for 736 districts and 543 parliamentary constituencies (PCs) in India in 2020. Population estimates were calculated by summing the population count across 100m × 100m pixels over the shapefile boundaries using the WorldPop raster data (https://www.worldpop.org/geodata/summary?id=6527). Both PC and District shapefiles were downloaded from the Community Created Maps of India (CCMA) project published by Data {Meet}. The district shapefile was edited in alignment with the latest district boundary of 2020. Districts of Mumbai and Mumbai Suburban were both reported under Mumbai
