The data included statistics on population size, households, sex and age distribution, place of birth, residence characteristics, literacy, marital status, religion, language spoken, caste/ethnic group, economically active population, education, number of children, employment status, and occupation.http://www.digitalhimalaya.com/collections/nepalcensus/form.php?selection=1 Nepal Census Data 2001 Digital Himalaya 2015-05-07 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20081012163506/http://www.digitalhimalaya.com/collections/nepalcensus/form.php?selection=1 2008-10-12 Enumeration challenges During the 2001 Nepal census, the field enumeration was significantly disrupted by political instability and the ongoing Maoist insurgency (Nepalese Civil War), resulting in incomplete data collection in many parts of the country. Due to the Maoist insurgency, the census staff were unable to carry out enumeration in 957 wards (including two urban wards) across 12 districts, leading to gaps in the official household and population counts. In 83 Village Development Committees (VDCs), complete enumeration was not possible and 747 wards were entirely affected, while additional wards in other VDCs and municipalities were partially impacted. In particularly hard-hit districts such as Salyan and Kalikot, even the basic household listing was interrupted. The population figures for affected areas were estimated based on partial listings and demographic estimation procedures rather than full enumeration.National Population Census 2001 https://microdata.nsonepal.gov.np/index.php/catalog/42 National Statistics Office (NSO), Nepal Key findings The key findings of 2001 census are as follows:https://nepal.unfpa.org/sites/default/files/pub-pdf/PopulationMonograph2014Volume1.pdf POPULATION MONOGRAPH OF NEPAL VOLUME I (Population Dynamics) Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Nepal 2014 978-9937-2-8971-9https://censusnepal.cbs.gov.np/results/files/main-part-janaganana/janaganana.pdf नेपालमा जनगणना National Statistics Office (NSO), Nepal ne Census in Nepal https://web.archive.org/web/20230714165804/https://censusnepal.cbs.gov.np/results/files/main-part-janaganana/janaganana.pdf 2023-07-14 Total population23,151,423Intercensal change 4,660,326 Intercensal change percentage25.20%Annual growth rate 2.25%Population density (per km2)157.3Male population11,563,921Female population11,587,502Gender ratio99.8Literacy rate54.1% Out of the total population figure, 22,738,934 represents the enumerated population, while 414,489 represents the estimated population from areas where enumeration was affected.
