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.

How to read this: Togo and its 17 cities in 2025, each a dot whose area is its number of people (the largest is Lomé). Blitta-Gare is ringed, in colour; the other cities are grey. Neighbouring countries are outlines.

In 2025, Blitta-Gare covered 19 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 1.6 km² of it. That is 8 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 3 by 3 metres. Since 2015, its built-up land has grown by 33%, and its people have grown by 29%.

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 Togo in 2025, 2 lived in Blitta-Gare, which is 209,755 people.

How to read this: shrink Togo to 100 people and this is what you get. The coloured squares are the ones who would live in Blitta-Gare; the grey ones are everybody else, in other cities, in towns and out in the country.

The figures for Blitta-Gare 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 Blitta-Gare publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
