South Waziristan

South Waziristan district reference

This is the South Waziristan record in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa location directory. This website groups it under Dera Ismail Khan. The figures and source notes below identify the reporting unit used; they do not change the administrative links held in this directory.

2023 census reference

  • Population: 888,675
  • Reported area: 6,620 square kilometres
  • Urban population share: 0.00%

Reporting unit: SOUTH WAZIRISTAN DISTRICT. These figures describe the unit used in PBS Census 2023 Table 1. They are a dated reference, not a 2026 population estimate or a measurement of the current website map. Later district splits, renamings and boundary changes require a like-for-like comparison.

Name and boundary notes

PBS Table 1 reports SOUTH WAZIRISTAN as one unit. Its total is not divided here between any later Lower or Upper district records.
