Also, the result reveals the massive increase in the urban population. The urban population of Nepal constitutes about 17 percent of the total population in 2011 compared to 14 percent urban population in 2001. Likewise the rural population of Nepal decreased from 86 percent in 2001 to 83 percent in 2011. The sex ratio in the rural areas, as in the census 2001 is higher (104) than in the urban areas (92).
