At the time of the 2006 National Census, the village's population was 308 in 64 households, when it was in Aslan Duz Rural District of the former Aslan Duz District in Parsabad County. The following census in 2011 counted 308 people in 88 households. The 2016 census measured the population of the village as 368 people in 117 households.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Asad Kandi” is village in Iran. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Asad, Kandi and village, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA strong orientation record where physical form, institutional use and historical geography need to be read together. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2006, 2011, 2016, 2019—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. For this dossier, Asad, Kandi and village is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “village in Iran” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6418495. Authority coordinates are 39.463, 47.449. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2006, 2011, 2016 and 2019.

Critical limits

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
