Population
In the absence of reliable census data, it is difficult to ascertain the number of Cochin GSBs. The census reports from early 20th century conducted by Cochin and Travancore princely states give a combine figure of approximately 14,500. The population of these geographies have increased fivefold now. Assuming the GSB population grew at the same rate, a figure of 70,000 may be an extrapolated.
Cheralai area of Ernakulam city, Downtown Ernakulam, Allapuzha Anandanarayanapuram, chertala (muttam), Thuravoor, Kayamkulam, Kollam, and downtown Ernakulam, North Parur, Varapuzha, Cherai, Vypeen, TRIPUNITHURA (PURNAVEDAPURI),Kottayam and Ettumanoor are the some of the areas one finds significant GSB population.

Famous quotes containing the word population:
“O for a man who is a man, and, as my neighbor says, has a bone in his back which you cannot pass your hand through! Our statistics are at fault: the population has been returned too large. How many men are there to a square thousand miles in this country? Hardly one.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I think that cars today are almost the exact equivalent of the great Gothic cathedrals: I mean the supreme creation of an era, conceived with passion by unknown artists, and consumed in image if not in usage by a whole population which appropriates them as a purely magical object.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
