Villages that shrank most in Sikkim

A falling count usually means out-migration, but in a small village it can also mean a boundary change.

What this ranking leaves out, and why. 1 villages here had fewer than 100 people in 2011 — at that size a percentage says more about the surveyor than the village, so they are excluded. A further 0 sit within half a point of the limits beyond which we treat a figure as implausible (+150% or −40%): they are the villages that only just survived that test, not the fastest moving, and ranking them first would be misleading. That is 1 excluded in total. How the limits are set.
