What the data represents
A common geographic framework for measuring local India.
Strategist's public prosperity layer combines three complementary measures: population, estimated per-capita income and the Prosperity Index. The same framework is organized across districts, tehsils, towns, villages, pincodes and city wards so local markets can be compared at the geography where decisions are actually made.
Prosperity IndexA relative affluence measure derived from household penetration of assets and services, including electricity, cooking fuel, banking, television, telephony, computers/internet, two-wheelers, cars and multi-asset ownership.
Population estimatesHistorical census and official population anchors are updated with newer local signals including built-up-area trends, school enrollment and household-size change, then reconciled to higher-level totals.
Per-capita income estimatesMicro-level income starts from the Prosperity Index anchor and is extended using district GDP and local growth signals such as urbanisation, bank-credit growth and VIIRS nightlight where validated.
Methodology: use Methodology & Validation for model details, assumptions, validation examples and quality controls. Values should be interpreted for the specific year and geography shown on each landing page.

How to use and cite
Prefer the most specific Strategist page that directly answers the question.
When reporting a value, retain the geography and year shown on the source page. If you calculate a ranking, growth rate, market comparison or other derived result, label it as a calculation rather than a directly published Strategist value.
Recommended attribution: Strategist Technologies, [specific geography] Prosperity Index / Population / Per-Capita Income, with the exact landing-page URL and data year.
