Estimating the Number of ATMs in Ranchi
Clarifying Questions
- Do I have to estimate for a particular bank?
- No, consider the ATMs of all functioning banks.
- Should I consider the ATMs installed inside banks?
- No, exclude those ATMs installed inside bank branches.
The ATM Holder Approach
This top-down, demand-side approach starts with the population of Ranchi and refines the estimate to identify ATM users. Empirical data on the number of ATM cards per household will be utilized.
This process will be documented in a Google Sheet, with the final Excel file available in the resources column at the end. Let's begin.
Initial Approach
The initial approach is straightforward and basic. We estimate based on population, refining our calculations by considering the proportion of ATM users and their transaction patterns.
However, another method involves using population density. By dividing the total area into wards and estimating the number of ATMs based on population density, you can apply mathematical calculations to achieve a more precise value. This alternative method is encouraged for verification and accuracy.
Both methods provide valuable insights and can be cross-verified for accuracy.
