Census town · Census 2011 · code 332856
Mirjapur population. Households, literacy and work.
A detailed town profile in West Bengal, using the original Primary Census Abstract. Every figure on this page belongs to the source’s 2011 population and geography.
Historical geographic unit. Census 2011 town boundary and classification. The primary total is the single published town row. This is not a present-day population or an urban-agglomeration total.
The source records 1,239 households and 5,114 residents. These household and person counts are separate measures.
Children aged 0–6 accounted for 10.13% of residents. This historical age group helps describe the age structure in 2011; it does not measure today’s children.
Male literacy was 93.17% and female literacy was 85.89%, each calculated among the corresponding population aged 7 and above.
Of 1,735 Census workers, 93.26% were main workers. Census work includes more than salaried employment.

Using the profile in research
These are historical counts, not current market estimates or present-day projections for this town. Read the research guidance before choosing a denominator or adding eligibility, adoption and spending assumptions.
Definitions, calculation methods and source access
Literacy uses people aged 7 and above; work participation uses all residents. Main workers worked at least six months. Households are the PCA household count, not houses. Rates with zero denominators are unavailable. Names and boundaries belong to Census 2011.
The main profile combines the selected, non-overlapping components. A municipal-core row and its wider row including outgrowths are not added together.
