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.

Where it is
How to read this: every dot is one of the 43 cities in Peru in 2025, and a dot's area is how many people live there, the biggest being Lima. The ringed dot in colour is Caleta Sanitaria; the grey dots are the rest. The outlines around them are neighbouring countries.

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.

Apparatus
Sources and method
The figures for Caleta Sanitaria 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 Caleta Sanitaria publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
