Source notes: AllRanks assistant verified on 2026-10-22 against the linked official Census 2011 workbook, Sheet1. Read all 35 state/UT-level “Total” rows (excluded India aggregate, rural/urban subtotals, and district rows); matched the State/UT labels and source columns and re-sorted descending. Derived rates are calculated only from the workbook columns as described. The Census 2011 administrative boundaries are retained; later state/UT reorganizations are not retrofitted.
