Data sources and methodology
Province, district and local-level names, types, ward counts and area figures come from the same database that powers the Nagarik Nepal app, seeded from the open local-states-nepal dataset and cross-checked against Nepal's official post-2015 federal restructuring carried out by the Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration. Province population and area figures are 2021 census / official figures. District and local-level population figures are intentionally left out here because they are not part of that verified source; we don't publish numbers we can't stand behind.
