2017 vs 1998
Karachi= 16.7m 8.03% vs 9.33m 7.04%

Not sure when break down will be released, maybe with final report next year.

The city has a population of roughly 1.1 million rest of the 9 lakh live in villages

But rural population have growth rate of 7% which isn't natural so these are all relatively recent migrants. Why people will move to villages?

The new KPK migrants have settled mainly in the rural localities due to high residential cost in sector Islamabad and surrounding semi urban areas
