The figure does not account for a massive number of houses and it will take another month to come up with a more accurate estimate, Deputy Commissioner Md Jahangir Hossain said.
The study did not look into damages caused to roads, bridges, culverts, livestock, crops or fisheries, the official added.
Many houses are still submerged and the extent of damage will increase once the water recedes, said Kathair Union Parishad Chairman Mufti Shamsul Islam.
The inundation caused similar devastation to the area of Abdus Salam, a former chairman of Mollapara UP.
