Field Details
Organizational and Reference Information
ORGNAME, REGID, PROJECTNAME These fields establish the organizational context for the population data and provide a unique identifier for each population record.
YEAR This field specifies the year for which the population estimates are reported.
Geographic Identification
PCODE, VILLAGENAME, TOWNSHIPNAME These fields identify the specific geographic area for which population data is provided. The standardized geographical code (PCODE) enables consistent identification across different data systems, while the village and township names facilitate human-readable geographic analysis.
VTHC This field indicates whether the village falls under the coverage area of a Village Tract Health Center.
Age-Specific Population Counts
UNDER1 Population of infants under one year of age, critical for immunization planning and infant health services.
AGE1TO2, AGE2TO3, AGE3TO4 Population of young children in single-year age ranges, enabling precise targeting of early childhood interventions and developmental monitoring.
AGE5TO9, AGE10TO14 Population of school-age children, important for school health programs and pediatric service planning.
AGE15TO19 Population of adolescents, who have specific reproductive health education needs and developing healthcare requirements.
AGE20TO39 Population of younger adults, representing the primary reproductive age population with specific maternal health and family planning needs.
AGE40TO59 Population of middle-aged adults, who begin to experience increased prevalence of non-communicable diseases.
AGE60PLUS Population of older adults, who require specific health services related to aging and chronic conditions.
Special Population Groups and Summary
PREGNANTWOMEN Estimated number of pregnant women in the geographic area, a critical population requiring specific antenatal, delivery, and postnatal services.
TOTALPOPULATION The total population across all age groups, providing the overall denominator for health service planning.
Additional Information
ERRORCOMMENTREMARK This field allows for documentation of any errors, special circumstances, or additional information relevant to the population projection data.
Relationships with Other Tables
While there may not be explicit foreign key relationships, the geographic fields in the population_projection table align with corresponding geographic identifiers in the service tables. This alignment enables calculation of coverage rates by matching service provision data with appropriate population denominators.
