The total population of the State, as returned at the census taken on 8/9 April, 1956, was 2,898,264 persons. The estimated population in the month of April in subsequent years was as follows:—
|
1957 |
2,885,000 |
|
1958 |
2,853,000 |
|
1959 |
2,846,000 |
|
1960 |
2,834,000. |
The reliability of these estimates will, of course, be checked by the census of population to be taken in the present year.
