Using Data Mining for Demographic Analysis of Census Data

Abstract

The census of a Nation provides the detailed information about the various aspects governing the overall progress of the country. It provides the overview about the lifestyle of the people. The decennial census of India has been conducted 15 times as of now and stands as the largest source of statistics about the people in India. The extent of influence that census data has on the progress of the country, the proposed system aims at providing census data-oriented progress tracking system. The advent of data mining techniques has opened new realms in algorithmic forecasting and generating meaningful models. Applying these techniques to important census data can prove to be extremely advantageous for the well-planned progress of the nation. The system will try to integrate the crude census data and certain machine learning algorithms to provide a decision support system. Aggregating the vast datasets, system have analyzed the relationships between various attributes concerning Education and Health-care; prioritizing the most influential ones.
