Goa: easily the most popular holiday destination in India. And for good reason too. The gold and white sand beaches, coconut trees rising above your head, delicious seafood, a wonderful blend of Indians and foreigners, and the equally wonderful marketplaces make it the perfect vacation spot. Population wise, the state of Goa ranks 26th in India. It has only about 15 lakhs of natives residing in it. But the area spread of Goa is far less as compared to the population, thus making it a state of medium population density. Its population density is almost 400 according to Goa census 2011, in a small area of mere 3000 kilometer square. It's the smallest state in India.

In rural areas of Goa, the population growth rate is a problem, since its negative, which means the population is greatly decreasing. Gender ratio in rural areas, on the other hand shows a far more satisfactory picture. The ratio is close to the ideal, and most importantly better than that in urban areas.
