Intercensal growth rate between the 2010 and 2021 censuses, per year, from the COD-PS growth-rate sheet. Published at REGION level only; the national figure is derived from the two census totals. Not available per district. Source: UNFPA / Ghana Statistical Service (COD-PS, 2021 Population and Housing Census); computed by CAD, 2021. Regions created in 2019 have no 2010 count of their own, so each shows its former parent region’s rate: Northern, North East and Savannah share one; so do Ahafo, Bono and Bono East; Oti and Volta; and Western and Western North.
