| The need of demographic analysis is quite significant for management and development planning of a region. Growth, distribution and composition of population are key issues in any population studies. The Geographical study of population growth of an area is of vital significance for understanding its dynamism as well as for planning at the local and regional levels. The present study seeks to analyse trend of growth, spatial distribution and composition of population in Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh, located in the central part of the Bundelkhand region. The study is based on data collected from secondary and primary sources. Descriptive statistical methods and tables and graphs have been used to analyse and portray the demographic data respectively. The study reveals that the growth of population, its distribution and composition is not uniformly distributed throughout the study area. The uneven spatial distribution in demographic attributes is associated with physical, ecological and socio-economic factors in the region.
