Hyderabad Population

Hyderabad Population

The population of Hyderabad is a cross cultural potpourri of native Telugus and settlers from various parts of the country and the world. People from north Indian states such as Arunachal Pradesh, Bihar, Chandigarh, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Uttaranchal migrate here as the city is an emerging IT hub and the centre of scientific and technological development in the country. Youths from neighboring states such as Maharashtra, Orissa, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka make a beeline for Hyderabad in search of better employment opportunities and educational institutions. The cosmopolitan culture in the city promotes such an influx.

The 2001 census pegged Hyderabad's population at 3686460 of which the male population accounts for 1894990 and the females account for 1791470 members of the population. The census also recorded the population density at 16988 per square kilometer. 79.04 % of the populace was recorded to be literate.

As of a 2007 record, the total population of Hyderabad was recorded to be about 6,255,256 and hence the population density of the city has been ascertained at 14,192 per square kilometer. The decrease can be attributed to the increasing city limits. The population count in 1950 was 1122000 and the city is estimated to be laden with 10457000 dwellers by 2015. So the multiplying numbers of Hyderabad's population may be seen in these figures.

The population of Hyderabad may be divided into two major religious sects, Hindus and Muslims. However, communal harmony is the secret of such their peaceful coexistence. Communal and religious violence is almost unheard of and a brotherhood reigns in most localities with Hindu and Muslim families residing side by side. A number of languages such as English, Hindi, Urdu and Telugu are spoken in the city. Hyderabad population has learnt to gracefully accept and assimilate foreign cultures and lend it an indigenous flavor.
