Khovd, Khovd

Khovd ( _mn. Ховд) is a sum (district) of Khovd Province in western Mongolia.

Population

In 2005, 4,644 inhabitants and 866 households lived in Khovd sum. It is the only sum in the Khovd aimag with a majority of Kazakh. 96% of the population belongs to Kazakh nationality and the remaining belong to other ethnic and national groups, like Chantuu (Uzbek), Myangad, Torguud or Khalkh. The total population increased until 1991 and declined sharply in 1992 and 1993. This decline was caused by the outmigration of Kazakhs to Kazakhstan (approx. 1,650 or 33% of total population). In the following years, some migrants returned and the population increased also due to comparably high birth rates. In recent years, the population decreased again, caused by net outmigration [Feasibility Assessment of Sustainable Use of Land and Water in the Buyant River Delta, Khovd Aimag.National University of Mongolia.
