Andijon, 
Uzbekistan
803,518 people lived in Andijon in 2025. It is the 658th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 4th largest in Uzbekistan.
That figure counts the whole built-up area, not the area Andijon governs, so it may be far from the number the city publishes about itself. How the UN measures a city.

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.

Uzbekistan · every city · 2025
Where it is
How to read this: Uzbekistan and its 76 cities in 2025, each a dot whose area is its number of people (the largest is Tashkent). Andijon 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, Andijon covered 184 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 56 km² of it. That is 69 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 8 by 8 metres. Since 1975, its built-up land has grown to 3.1 times its size, and its people are 3.9 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 Uzbekistan
Its share of Uzbekistan
Of every 100 people in Uzbekistan in 2025, 2 lived in Andijon, which is 803,518 people.
How to read this: shrink Uzbekistan to 100 people and this is what you get. The coloured squares are the ones who would live in Andijon; the grey ones are everybody else, in other cities, in towns and out 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 Andijon 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 Andijon publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
