Based on the available statistics, development trends for Panjgur are generally clearly explained in the tables with socio-economic indicators and Panjgur’s comparative ranking in reference to the other districts within Balochistan, underneath.

• Area-wise Panjgur is one of the largest districts within the province, but rather sparsely populated with an annual population growth below average. 
• The agricultural production value per capita, mainly through date cultivation, is just below average, although its production value per hectare scores above average, which indicates that its cropping pattern is conducive to its environment. 
• Livestock seems not to be an important sector for the people, as the livestock density is low and the number of livestock per capita is low too, while concurrently the availability of pasture is three times the average. 
• Comparatively Panjgur ranks high on equal access to primary education for boys and girls, which means that 5 boys go to school for every 4 girls. However the girls/teacher ratio is about 3 times the boys/teacher ratio, which still indicates that the quality of education for the girls lacks far behind. The pupils/teacher ratio in general is far above the average of the province. 
• Health-wise Panjgur scores low. The population per bed ratio en the population per doctor ratio score far above average, and as the male/female ratios of both doctors and paramedical staff score among the highest as well, the women in particular are really deprived from any adequate health service. 
• The water supply coverage is among the highest, but mainly because data on water supply coverage are not adequately available. 
• The shingle road network is above average, which does not mean that it is adequate.
