Sex ratios of 774 and 534, and the one district of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu where women outnumber men

Background

The Union Territory Administration of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu sets out the 2011 Census figures separately for each of its three districts. The sex ratio is 774 in Dadra and Nagar Haveli, 534 in Daman and 1031 in Diu. Because a sex ratio is the number of women per thousand men, Diu, the island district, is the only one of the three where women outnumber men. The child sex ratios are 926 for Dadra and Nagar Haveli, 897 for Daman and 929 for Diu. The recorded populations are 343709 for Dadra and Nagar Haveli, 1,91,173 for Daman and 52,074 for Diu, with densities of 700, 2655 and 1302 persons per square kilometre. Literacy is 76.2% in Dadra and Nagar Haveli, 88.06% in Daman and 83.46% in Diu. Each district has its own municipal council: the Silvassa Municipal Council, the Daman Municipal Council and the Diu Municipal Council.
