The provisional data released by the Department of Census Operations Tamilnadu shows that Chennai District is the second district in India to top the Density Index with a population density of 26,903 people per square kilometer in 2011. This figure was 24,963 per square kilometer in 2001.
The first district is the North East District of National Capital Territory of Delhi with 37,346 people per square kilometer.
The growth in the density of Chennai is primarily due to shift of people from elsewhere for better educational, employment and business activities mainly due to good infrastructure, education & medical facilities and better workforce.
Chennai with a 100 percent urban population comes first in terms of urban population followed by Kanyakumari District with 82.47 percent and Coimbatore District with 75.83.
