Demographics
According to the 2011 census, the taluk of Erode had a population of 820,720 with 410,323 males and 410,397 females. There were 1,000 women for every 1,000 men. The taluk had a literacy rate of 73.5%. Child population in the age group below 6 years were 35,016 Males and 33,498 Females.[2]
After trifurcation of the taluk, the present Erode taluk has a population of around 558,074 (as per census 2011). So there is a proposal and request to further bifurcate the Erode taluk into Erode North and Erode South.
