Angeles, 
Philippines
1,445,721 people lived in Angeles in 2025. It is the 350th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 4th largest in the Philippines.
This is the UN's built-up area, drawn from satellite pictures and census maps rather than from the city limits, and the two can be a long way apart. The rule behind it.

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: Angeles is the dot in colour with a ring around it. The grey dots are the other cities of the Philippines in 2025, 114 in all, led by Manila, 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, Angeles covered 297 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 41 km² of it. That is 29 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 5 by 5 metres. Since 1975, its built-up land has grown to 8 times its size, and its people are 7.3 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 the Philippines
Its share of the Philippines
Of every 100 people in the Philippines in 2025, 1 lived in Angeles, which is 1.4 million people.
How to read this: 100 squares, one for every 100th person in the Philippines; the coloured squares live in Angeles. The grey rest live in other cities, in towns or in the countryside.

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