Jalna population. Households, literacy and work.
A detailed district profile in Maharashtra, using the original Primary Census Abstract. Every figure on this page belongs to the source’s 2011 population and geography.
Historical geographic unit. Historical Census 2011 district boundary. This record does not represent a present-day district unless the boundaries are independently shown to match.
The source records 391,701 households and 1,959,046 residents. These household and person counts are separate measures.
Urban residents accounted for 19.27% of this area’s population, compared with 80.73% in rural areas.
Children aged 0–6 accounted for 14.67% of residents. This historical age group helps describe the age structure in 2011; it does not measure today’s children.

Of 930,886 Census workers, 90.72% were main workers. Census work includes more than salaried employment.
