It is a predominantly rural area with 92.34% of the population living in rural areas against 7.66% in the urban areas. There are many [census towns](/source/Census_towns) in the district, as can be seen in the map alongside. Agriculture is the main occupation of the people but with the extension of coal mines, particularly in the southern part of the district, employment in coal mines is increasing. However, it has to be borne in mind that modern mining operations are highly mechanised. Four operational areas of [Central Coalfields](/source/Central_Coalfields) are marked on the map. All these areas are spread across partly this district and partly the neighbouring districts.[1][2][3] Note: The map alongside presents some of the notable locations in the district. All places marked in the map are linked in the larger full screen map. Urbanisation data calculated on the basis of census data for CD blocks and may vary a little against unpublished official data. ## Civic administration ### CD block HQ The headquarters of Katkamdag CD block is located at Katkamdag.[4] ## Demographics According to the [2011 Census of India](/source/2011_Census_of_India) Katkamdag (referred to in census data as Katamdag) had a total population of 2,334, of which 1,189 (51%) were males and 1,145 (49%) were females.
