58% of registered enterprises are in services while 42% are in manufacturing. Only 1% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 37% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Bandipore, which ranks 15 of 20 in Jammu and Kashmir for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 49.4 out of 100. The district runs ahead of the national picture on households in the poorest wealth group at 14.2%, while it lags on women who are anaemic at 73.5%.
