Delhi's digital 2027 census logs provisional 2.3cr residents so far
Delhi just wrapped up the first phase of its digital 2027 Census, counting a provisional 2.3 crore residents between April and September this year.
North East Delhi stands out as the most crowded district with 28.7 lakh people, while New Delhi has the smallest population at 2.4 lakh.
South West leads with 6.2L households
South West Delhi leads in households (6.2 lakh) and total houses (over 8.2 lakh), while New Delhi trails with only about 63,000 households and a little over one lakh houses.
Out of all households counted, 55 lakh in total, just 3% used self-enumeration.
This census is happening in two phases; the final numbers will drop after phase two wraps up in February 2027.
Comparing this data to older censuses isn't straightforward since district boundaries have changed since 2011.
