The 1961 census recorded Kathwara as comprising 7 hamlets, with a total population of 2,095 people (1,123 male and 972 female), in 466 households and 439 physical houses.[5] The area of the village was given as 1,276 acres.[5]

The 1981 census recorded Kathwara as having a population of 3,365 people, in 636 households, and having an area of 515.18 hectares.[3] The main staple foods were given as wheat and rice.[3]
