Bihar · LGD 189
Estimated population of Aurangabad. Rank 21 of 38 in this projection.
1.53% annual pace implied by the model’s 2021–2026 values. This is not measured annual growth.
The source projects 32,68,703 people for 1 March 2026. It uses a district ratio method with Government of India state projection inputs. This is a published estimate, not a new Census enumeration or a live count.
The 2011 Census counted 25,40,073 people here. Literacy, density, rural/urban shares and sex ratio below still refer to 2011; they have not been relabelled 2026.
Annual model pace = ((2026 projection ÷ 2021 projection)^(1/5) − 1) × 100. Displayed lakh values are rounded; calculations use source integers.

Rank 22 of 38 by population in this source.
The population is a 2011 Census count, not a present-day projection. Literacy is republished to one decimal. Density is the source’s 2011 figure; it is not calculated using the later map.

|---|---|
| Total | 70.3% |
| Male | 80.1% |
| Female | 59.7% |
Census literacy refers to the population aged seven and above. The total rate is the source’s published rate, not a simple average of male and female rates. Sex ratio comes from the separate Census-labelled DES chart series.
Source value: ₹20,51,368 lakh.
