Hi.......

Does anybody has data on Houses, Household Amenities & Assets - 2001 at ward level for Bangalore.

I'm  trying to compare the change in vehicle ownership between 2001 and 2011. I have the assets data for 2011 at ward level and looking for 2001.

Thanks

Jyothi,

The ward-level dataset that you are looking for wasn't released by the ORGI for the Census, 2001. You may try contacting one of their data centers (located at Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, Pune & JNU, New Delhi) for more dis-aggregated data though.

Regards,
Sumit

Nisha,

I checked the openbangalore page, but don't see any data w.r.t. household assets etc at ward level. Could you or Thejesh point us to the exact dataset?

Thanks
Sharad

Sharad/Nisha,

Census, till 2001, released household amenities and assets dataset upto the level of tehsil/taluka. So, I don't think we can get the ward level information unless ORGI decides to make this data available for 2001 (like they have done for 2011).

Regards,
Sumit

You are right. 2001 data were only available on a 'paid' basis, and were not in public domain. I know this because a colleague had to purchase the 2001 dataset for her city of study at the cost of more than 1 lakh (back in 2005).

I guess we could write a joint letter to Census of India asking them to release the 2001 data since they have already released 2011 dataset for free!
