Armenia, 
Colombia
319,234 people lived in Armenia in 2025. It is the 1802nd largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 18th largest in Colombia.
The UN measures every city in the world the same way, by where the buildings are rather than where the boundary runs, so this figure and Armenia's own can differ widely. What counts as a city here.

How Armenia grew
Where Armenia had 10 people in 1975, it had 20 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 316,629 people in 2050. It passed 250,000 people between 2000 and 2005.
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.

Armenia through your family’s years
Put in the years your family were born. You’ll see how many people lived in Armenia in each of those years, and when each of them turned 30.
Colombia · every city · 2025
Where it is
How to read this: Colombia and its 81 cities in 2025, each a dot whose area is its number of people (the largest is Bogotá). Armenia 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, Armenia covered 34 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 7.3 km² of it. That is 23 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 5 by 5 metres. Since 1975, its built-up land has grown to 2.6 times its size, and its people are 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 Colombia
Its share of Colombia
Of every 1,000 people in Colombia in 2025, 6 lived in Armenia, which is 319,234 people.
How to read this: 1,000 squares stand for everyone in Colombia, one square for every 1,000th person. Count the coloured ones and you have Armenia'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 Armenia 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 Armenia publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
