India: Percent of world population: The latest value from 2023 is 17.94 percent, a decline from 17.95 percent in 2022. In comparison, the world average is 0.51 percent, based on data from 196 countries. Historically, the average for India from 1960 to 2023 is 16.5 percent. The minimum value, 14.54 percent, was reached in 1960 while the maximum of 17.97 percent was recorded in 2014.

India's population density has seen a dramatic rise since 1951, reflecting significant demographic shifts over the past six decades. In 1951, the density stood at 117 people per square kilometer, highlighting India's largely rural society at the time. Over the next 60 years, this figure more than tripled, reaching 382 people per square kilometer by 2011. Key drivers of this population boom included high birth rates and improved healthcare, which lowered mortality rates. From 1951 to 1961, the population density increased by 21%, and by 1971 it had risen by another 25%. The 1981 census showed a 22% increase, reaching 216 people per square kilometer. In 1991, this figure crossed the 250 mark, showing a 24% rise from the previous decade. The population density surged again in 2001 and 2011, though at a slower rate compared to previous decades. This steady rise reflects India's rapid urbanization, changing family structures, and economic growth. However, regional variations in density highlight the uneven nature of this growth, with some urban centers experiencing extreme population pressures. By 2011, India’s challenges in managing this population boom became evident in its strain on resources, infrastructure, and urban planning efforts.

The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.
