POPULATION RELATED DETAILS
According to the 2011 Census-based demographic data published by the Government of Kerala, Kadambur Grama Panchayat has a population of 18,979, covering an area of about 7.95 sq. km., with 4,127 households and 13 wards. (Kerala State Government) The population is composed of both male and female residents, along with Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) communities; the Government of India’s Census database provides these categories separately for population analysis. (Census India) In comparison with nearby panchayats, Kadambur has a smaller population than Dharmadam (30,804), Chembilode (34,319), Peralassery (29,107), and Anjarakkandi (23,030), while its population is comparable to Muzhappilangad (23,709) and somewhat higher than Kannapuram (18,459). (Kerala State Government) At the same time, Kadambur has a relatively high population density of about 2,387 persons per sq. km., reflecting its compact geographical area; this is higher than Anjarakkandi (1,499) and Peralassery (about 1,500), though lower than Dharmadam (2,884). (Kerala State Government) Thus, Kadambur can be characterised as a compact, relatively densely populated panchayat within the surrounding Kannur–Edakkad region, with a population structure that includes general, SC and ST categories and a demographic profile broadly comparable with neighbouring panchayats.
Note: Kadambur Grama Panchayat's own current website lists 23,387 as its “Total Population (2011),” whereas the Kerala Panchayat Department and Census-linked records give 18,979 for the Kadambur panchayat. (kadamburpanchayat.lsgkerala.gov.in) .
