Provinces & Districts

Census 2023 by district and tehsil, the Economic and Agricultural Censuses, LFS and HIES

Census & annual · 2019 → · 32 series

Provinces & Districts is PakDataHub's granular layer. It carries the 2023 population census for every province, district and tehsil — population by sex, rural and urban, growth since 2017, density, household size, literacy and out-of-school children — and Pakistan's first Economic Census, which counted every establishment and its workforce by industry in every district.

From agriculture it adds the 2024 Agricultural Census by district: livestock by animal, farms and farm area by size, tractors and tubewells. Two household surveys add province and income-group detail: the Labour Force Survey (employment and unemployment by province and sex) and the HIES (household income and consumption by quintile, urban and rural). Each indicator is one series; choose the place with the province and district dimensions.

Use cases
