The Zone not only has the highest population but also sees high floating population as it houses the city’s commercial establishments
Central Zone, spread over 30.95 sq.km., is the smallest of the five zones in the Coimbatore Corporation. It is less than half the East Zone and almost half of North Zone, but in the number of voters it is the highest with 4.01 lakh.
The highest number of voters indicates the highest population, which is densely packed in the Zone that extends from Ganapathy and Rathinapuri in the north to G.M. Nagar in south and Sivananda Colony in the west to Sowripalayam in the east.
The Zone not only has the highest population but also sees high floating population as it houses the city’s commercial establishments including wholesale markets and offices. The Zone also houses the Corporation’s head office, Valangulam tank, V.O.C. Park and several government offices as it includes the old town area.
