Myanmar census data 2014 was released recently. (You may download the publication from here.) This is an exciting time for us - data geeks, given how hard one can actually glimpse at a data set. We just don't have any. The last census was done in the 80's, before I was even born. A tale of having a reliable country-wide data in Myanmar used to be as old as time, but it is no longer.
In the light of this census, Phandeeyar - a local innovation hub - also organized a hackathon today to dig through the census data. This was also the first of many events lying ahead to restructure and to analyze the census data so that it will be accessible and easily understandable to everyone.
In short, I am excited. Everyone is excited. So stay tuned for a series of my interpretations of the census data.
