Notes: “2025 working estimate” means the latest published estimate, adjusted only for obvious population growth where the base is old. Wide ranges show uncertainty, not precision. Pakistan’s official 2023 census figure (162,684) is widely treated as an undercount. Sources include Pew Research Center surveys (2008–2012), the 2025 UK Home Office country note on Pakistan, a USCIRF report, ARDA, EBSCO summaries, national censuses where available and community statements.
