Mizoram population.
Census 2011.

The census snapshot

This profile uses final, revised Census 2011 population totals reproduced in the Ministry of Home Affairs’ July 2014 table. These are historical counts. The reference year and the geographic boundaries remain 2011.

¹ The source includes people recorded as “Others” within its published male column. We retain that official table convention. Read the definitions.

Putting Mizoram in perspective

With 10.97 lakh residents, Mizoram ranked 29 among the 35 states and union territories in this 2011 dataset. Its published density of 52 people per square kilometre was lower than the national figure of 382.

Density relates the number of people to the geographic area used in the source. It does not show how evenly people are distributed within Mizoram. The sex ratio is a separate measure: this table reports 976 females for every 1,000 males.

Using these figures today

For a current-year population question, start with our India after 2011 data guide. It brings together official projections, surveys, birth and death statistics, and administrative data, with a reference period for each. Relabelling this census count with a newer year would give it a meaning it does not have.

For comparisons over time, check whether boundaries, definitions or the data release have changed. Our guide to counts and estimates explains how to choose a suitable measure.
