Chhatarpur, 
India
268,598 people lived in Chhatarpur in 2025. It is the 2170th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 351st largest in India.
That figure counts the whole built-up area, not the area Chhatarpur governs, so it may be far from the number the city publishes about itself. How the UN measures a city.

How Chhatarpur grew

On the UN's projection it will have 300,945 people in 2050. It passed 250,000 people between 2010 and 2015. The UN first counts it as a city in 1985, when it passed 50,000 people.
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: India and its 2,054 cities in 2025, each a dot whose area is its number of people (the largest is New Delhi). Chhatarpur 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, Chhatarpur covered 30 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 5.2 km² of it. That is 19 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 4 by 4 metres. Since 1995, its built-up land has grown to 4.7 times its size, and its people have grown by 88%.
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.

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 Chhatarpur are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 1985 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 Chhatarpur publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
