36Million (3.6 Crores)Kerala is the thirteenth-largest
Indian state by population.Kerala is home to 2.76% of

India's population, and at 859 persons per km²; its land is
three times as densely settled as the rest of India.

Demography

In 1991 the population of Kerala was about 29 million; between 1901 and 1991 the
population had increased approximately
fivefold. Over the 40 years between 1901 and
1941, the 1901 population of 6.4 million
doubled; it then doubled again after only 30
years, between 1941 and 1971. The

intercensal growth rate, which includes both
natural increase and net migration, was
high—2.31 percent—between 1961 and
1971; it then declined to 1.75 percent
between 1971 and 1981 and to 1.32 percent
between 1981 and 1991. The population

density of Kerala increased from 165 persons
per square kilometer in 1901 to 747 persons
in 1991. The female population outnumbered
the male population throughout the century; the number of females per thousand
males increased from 1,004 in 1901 to 1,036 in 1991.
The rate of natural increase was less than 2 percent before 1941 and after 1981 and

greater than 2 percent during the three decades between 1941 and 1971. Until 1941
Kerala was characterized by a net influx of migrants, but later the situation was
reversed, with more people migrating out of Kerala. The emigration rate was 0.22

percent between 1971 and 1981, when approximately 250,000 persons left Kerala for
employment in the Middle East. This trend continued during the 1980s, with a net
migration rate of 0.31 percent.
