About these figures

Population and detailed tables are from the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, distributed through Muhammad Yaseen’s PakPC2023 package. Annual growth is calculated from the supplied 2017 and 2023 populations. This snapshot contains 136 census district entries; later district changes are not silently substituted.

The display map uses simplified WFP/OCHA boundaries dated September 2022; census statistics use the 2023 snapshot. Download the data and methodology.
