About this Dataset

Indian Census Data With Geospatial Indexing

Dataset Description:

This dataset has population data of each Indian district from 2001 and 2011 censuses.
The special thing about this data is that it has centroids for each district and state.
Centroids for a district are calculated by mapping border of each district as a polygon of latitude/longitude points in a 2D plane and then calculating their mean center.
Centroids for a state are calculated by calculating the weighted mean center of all districts that constitutes a state. The population count is the weight assigned to each district.

Example Analysis:

The complete code for calculating the centroids and web scraping for the data is shared on GitHub.
The purpose of this project was to map population density center for each state.
