Borigaon, 
India
253,566 people lived in Borigaon in 2025. It is the 2299th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 375th largest in India.
That figure counts the whole built-up area, not the area Borigaon governs, so it may be far from the number the city publishes about itself. How the UN measures a city.

How Borigaon grew
Count 10 people in Borigaon in 2010 and the same count gives 42 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 346,663 people in 2050. It passed 250,000 people between 2020 and 2025. The UN first counts it as a city in 2010, when it passed 50,000 people.

How to read this: read it left to right, 1975 to 2050, one column every five years, the height being people. Hatching marks the projected years. Below, a strip of the UN's confidence: strong colour where the census maps are recent and detailed, pale where they are not, blank where the place was not counted as a city.

Where it is
How to read this: every dot is one of the 2,054 cities in India in 2025, and a dot's area is how many people live there, the biggest being New Delhi. The ringed dot in colour is Borigaon; the grey dots are the rest. The outlines around them are neighbouring countries.
Area and built-up land · km²
How much land it covers
In 2025, Borigaon covered 127 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 7.1 km² of it. That is 28 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 5 by 5 metres. Since 2010, its built-up land has grown to 4.7 times its size, and its people are 4.2 times as many.
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.

How to read this: the number before each name is its place among all 12,138 cities in the world in 2025; bars are people, on one scale per list. Only cities that reach 300,000 people have a page here, so a gap in the numbers is a smaller city.
Apparatus
Sources and method
The figures for Borigaon are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 2010 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 Borigaon publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
