Delhi is currently divided into nine districts. The smallest district in population terms is central Delhi, with a population of close to 600,000 (it was more than 580,000 in 2011). The second smallest in terms of population is north Delhi, with approximately 900,000 people (it was 887,978 in 2011). In 2011, the population of the largest district of Delhi, the north-west, was 3,656,539, six times the population of all of Delhi in 1941. Comparing this to the population of Delhi at the time of the 2011 census, which was 16,787,941, there has been an 18-fold increase in less than 80 years.
