Town including outgrowths · Census 2011 · code 803243
Panaji population. Households, literacy and work.
A detailed town profile in Goa, 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 includes the outgrowths (OG) explicitly included in the source name; it is not a municipal-core-only count. This is not a present-day population or an urban-agglomeration total.
The source records 17,807 households and 70,991 residents. These household and person counts are separate measures.
Children aged 0–6 accounted for 8.71% of residents. This historical age group helps describe the age structure in 2011; it does not measure today’s children.
Male literacy was 94.71% and female literacy was 90.61%, each calculated among the corresponding population aged 7 and above.
Of 30,220 Census workers, 91.69% 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.
Town proper, excluding outgrowths
The source also supplies a narrower town-proper record. It contains 40,017 people. This component is already inside the wider total and must not be added again.
