Looking beyond the metropolitan address

Lalitpur District is wider than Lalitpur Metropolitan City. It also includes Godawari and Mahalaxmi municipalities and Bagmati, Konjyosom and Mahankal rural municipalities. A document naming Lalitpur may mean the district or the metropolitan city; a ward, settlement or nearby local-unit name helps distinguish the two.

District figures in the national census

In the National Statistics Office's 2021 census, Lalitpur District had 551,667 residents, compared with 468,132 in 2011. Table 15 records 140,367 households, an average household size of 3.93 and a population density of 1,433 people per square kilometre. These totals combine urban and rural local governments; they should not be quoted as city figures. Census residence also does not establish a family's ancestral home. For a historical place name, compare the original record's date and local-unit wording with current municipality and ward records before linking two households to the same location.
