Americana, 
Brazil
412,133 people lived in Americana in 2025. It is the 1368th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 42nd largest in Brazil.
Like every city on this site, Americana is counted as a built-up area seen from above rather than as a city government's territory. Why that changes the number.

projected (after 2025) · how sure the UN is: high moderate low
How to read this: one column every five years, 1975 to 2050; its height is the number of people. Hatched columns are the UN's projection. The thin strip beneath says how sure the UN is of each figure: the stronger the colour, the surer. A blank means the place was not on the UN's list of cities that year.

Where it is
How to read this: Americana is the dot in colour with a ring around it. The grey dots are the other cities of Brazil in 2025, 356 in all, led by São Paulo, each drawn with an area that matches its people. Countries next door are outlines only.
Area and built-up land · km²
How much land it covers
In 2025, Americana covered 95 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 29 km² of it. That is 69 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 8 by 8 metres. Since 1980, its built-up land has grown to 2.5 times its size, and its people are 3.3 times as many.
How to read this: the outer pale square stands for all the land the city covers, and the solid square inside it for the part with buildings, roads and the like on it. All three squares share a scale, so you can compare them by eye. A hatched one is a year the UN has projected.
Of every 100 people in Brazil
Its share of Brazil
Of every 1,000 people in Brazil in 2025, 2 lived in Americana, which is 412,133 people.
How to read this: shrink Brazil to 1,000 people and this is what you get. The coloured squares are the ones who would live in Americana; the grey ones are everybody else, in other cities, in towns and out in the country.

How to read this: names are in order of size, the leading number being each city's rank among all 12,138 in 2025; the bars share a scale within a list. A jump in the ranks means a city under 300,000 people, which is not given a page here.
Apparatus
Sources and method
The figures for Americana are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 1980 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 Americana publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
