After the Independence of Bangladesh in 1971, censuses were held in the years 1974, 1981, 1991, 2001, and 2011.The last census taken in the country was the 2011 census, which recorded a total population of 144.0 Million (this figure, however, was estimated by the Bureau to have been an undercount, and the actual population was estimated to be 149.8 Million).
Bangladesh is divided into 8 divisions (bibhag) and 64 districts (jela, zila, zela), although, these have only a limited role in public policy.For the purposes of local government, the country is divided into upazilas (sub-districts), "municipalities" or town councils (pourashova), city corporations (i.e. metropolitan municipal corporations) and union councils (i.e. rural councils).
The urban population rose to 20% in 1991 and to 24% by 2001. In 2011, Bangladesh had an urban population of 28% and the rate of urban population growth was estimated at 2.8%. [3] At this growth rate, Bangladesh's urban population would reach 79 million or 42% of the population by 2035.
The divisions of Bangladesh are further divided into districts or zilas (Bengali: জেলা). [1] The headquarters of a district is called the district seat (Bengali: জেলা সদর, romanized: zila sadar). There are 64 districts in Bangladesh. The districts are further subdivided into 495 subdistricts or upazilas. [2]
