Anápolis, 
Brazil
354,576 people lived in Anápolis in 2025. It is the 1610th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 50th largest in Brazil.
That figure counts the whole built-up area, not the area Anápolis governs, so it may be far from the number the city publishes about itself. How the UN measures a city.

How Anápolis grew
Count 10 people in Anápolis in 1980 and the same count gives 32.5 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 410,429 people in 2050. It passed 250,000 people between 2000 and 2005. The UN first counts it as a city in 1980, when it passed 50,000 people.
projected (after 2025) · how sure the UN is: high moderate low
How to read this: each column is one of the UN's five-yearly estimates, 1975 through 2050, and taller means more people. Where a column is hatched the year has not happened yet. The strip under the columns is the UN's own confidence in each figure, palest where it is least sure; where it is blank the city was not on the list at all.

Where it is
How to read this: Brazil and its 356 cities in 2025, each a dot whose area is its number of people (the largest is São Paulo). Anápolis 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, Anápolis covered 90 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 27 km² of it. That is 76 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 9 by 9 metres. Since 1980, its built-up land has grown to 2.4 times its size, and its people are 3.2 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.
Of every 100 people in Brazil
Its share of Brazil
Of every 1,000 people in Brazil in 2025, 2 lived in Anápolis, which is 354,576 people.
How to read this: 1,000 squares stand for everyone in Brazil, one square for every 1,000th person. Count the coloured ones and you have Anápolis's share; the grey remainder live somewhere else in the country.

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 Anápolis 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 Anápolis publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
