Ahmednagar, 
India
534,622 people lived in Ahmednagar in 2025. It is the 1038th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 165th largest in India.
Like every city on this site, Ahmednagar is counted as a built-up area seen from above rather than as a city government's territory. Why that changes the number.

How to read this: read it left to right, 1975 to 2050, one column every five years, the height being people. Hatching marks the projected years. Below, a strip of the UN's confidence: strong colour where the census maps are recent and detailed, pale where they are not, blank where the place was not counted as a city.

Where it is
How to read this: India and its 2,054 cities in 2025, each a dot whose area is its number of people (the largest is New Delhi). Ahmednagar is ringed, in colour; the other cities are grey. Neighbouring countries are outlines.
Area and built-up land · km²
How much land it covers
In 2025, Ahmednagar covered 85 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 17 km² of it. That is 33 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 6 by 6 metres. Since 1980, its built-up land has grown to 15.8 times its size, and its people are 2.8 times as many.
How to read this: pale is the whole of the city's land; the stronger square inside it is what is actually built on. The three are drawn to the same scale, so a larger square really is more land, and hatching means the year is the UN's projection rather than a count.

How to read this: the figure in front of a name is where that city stands among the 12,138 cities the UN counted in 2025, and each bar is its people, on one scale per list. Numbers are missing where a city has fewer than 300,000 people and so has no page of its own.
Apparatus
Sources and method
The figures for Ahmednagar are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 1975 to 2025, then projection to 2050. Projected years are drawn hatched, and the UN publishes no range of uncertainty for a city. What a city means here, how the UN measures one, and why that number can differ from the one Ahmednagar publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
