The concept of distribution of population, though not identical, are so intimately related to each other that there is a genuine reason to discuss them simultaneously under this study. The Distribution of population is more locational such as linear, dispersed, nucleated, agglomerated, etc. the population of the world reached 6.625 billion mark in 2007 and has crossed 7.0 billion mark around the close of the year 2011 and had reached 7.058 billion in 2012.the most conspicuous feature of the world’s population distribution was its unevenness and highly irregular spatial distribution. Clarke (1965) pointed out three-fourths of the world’s population lived within 1000kms. of sea, and two-thirds within 500 kms. Trewartha (1969) estimated that about half the worlds population occupied less than 5 per cent of the total area and the remaining half was spread over 50-60 per cent area. Another salient feature of the distributional pattern of population in the world was that the rimlands of all the continents accounted for the major population concentrations, while the interiors were, comparatively empty.

This study is mainly focusing on Mysore city total population distribution 2011. Each ward-wise population classified by High, Moderate and Low categories. And also classified male and female population distribution in Mysore city. In this study methods are using secondary data collected from census of India and with the help of GIS software techniques used for prepared population distribution maps.

Figure 2 shows the Classification of Mysore city ward wise population of 2011. There are three main classifications of the population in Low, Moderate, and High categories of all 65 wards in Mysore city. Here between 7028 to 10000 population comes under Low population category, between 10000 to 20000 population comes under Moderate or Medium population category and between 20000 to 31616 population comes under High population category.

Figure 3 A shows the classification of the Male population in Mysore city in 2011. Comparison between male and female distribution varies in this ward wise maps. Most of the Male High population is located in North, North-western, and North-Eastern and south Parts of Mysore city. Low Male Population Located more in the center of the city and south parts of the Mysore city. And lastly, the Moderate Male Population Located in Eastern, western, Southern Parts and North, North-Western Parts of the Mysore city.

Most of the Female High population is located in North, North-western and North-Eastern, East and South Parts of Mysore city. Low Female Population Located more in the center of the city and south parts of the Mysore city. And lastly, the Moderate Female Population Located in Eastern, North-Western, Southern Parts, and Northern Parts of the Mysore city.

The study investigated the core of the city center Having less population distribution compared to periphery area of the Mysore city in the year of 2011. Due to the industrial Development in form of IT and ITES services, development of infrastructural facilities in the city has allowed the growth of the city. The wards which are in proximity to the Industrial areas/estate are having higher population, increased density and increase in worker population. Compared to the census 2001 with that of census 2011, the population concentration, and density and worker population is higher in the central wards/parts of the city. Due to the fact that the commercial activities as work centres are located in the central part. The areas which are of average to medium density with well-developed infrastructure seem to support the higher literacy and good balance between the Male-Female ratios. The Institutional areas coming under the wards 23 and 24 have the Prestigious Mysore University. Clearly the worker populations are seemingly concentrated at the periphery of the wards.
