Where does the most population live in UP? Know which district is the ‘king of population’!

Uttar Pradesh, as we all know, is the largest state in India, especially in terms of population. But have you ever thought that which district of this state with such a large population, where most people live? It is not only interesting to know, but it is also very important to understand the demographics of our country.

So let’s come directly to the answer! According to the 2011 census statistics, Uttar Pradesh’s most populous district is none other than Prayagraj (Which is earlier known as Allahabad)! The total population here is about 59 lakh 54 thousand, that is, about 60 lakh people live in this same district – is this surprising?

The figures do not end here. If you are wondering who is at number two and third, then know:

• Is at second place MoradabadThe population of which is about 47 lakh 72 thousand.

• And on the third is the high-tech district located near the capital Delhi GhaziabadWhere around 46 lakh 81 thousand people live.

Between such big districts, if we talk about the lowest population district, then it is MahobaThe total population of Mahoba is just 8 lakh 76 thousand, which is much less than Prayagraj. It shows a large difference of population from one district to another.

If we talk about the whole of Uttar Pradesh, then its population is about 20 crores. This is such a big figure that if Uttar Pradesh was a separate country, it would have been bigger than Brazil and Pakistan in terms of population in the world (and the fifth largest in the world) country! 16.51% of India’s total population comes from Uttar Pradesh alone.

These statistics not only tell about the population, but also show that UP is also very dense in case of population density (829 persons per square kilometer), while India’s average density is 382. However, there is still still a need to improve on some social indices such as literacy rate (74.04% in UP 67.68% vs. 74.04%) and sex ratio (912 female per 1000 male vs. 943 in UP).

These statistics tell us that Uttar Pradesh is not only a large population, but is a very important part of India’s socio-economic scenario.
