Dausa, 
India
248,804 people lived in Dausa in 2025. It is the 2348th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 386th largest in India.
That figure counts the whole built-up area, not the area Dausa governs, so it may be far from the number the city publishes about itself. How the UN measures a city.

How Dausa grew
Count 10 people in Dausa in 1975 and the same count gives 22.5 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 303,443 people in 2050. It passed 250,000 people between 2010 and 2015.

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: India and its 2,054 cities in 2025, each a dot whose area is its number of people (the largest is New Delhi). Dausa 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, Dausa covered 31 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 5.5 km² of it. That is 22 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 5 by 5 metres. Since 1990, its built-up land has grown to 5 times its size, and its people have grown by 76%.
How to read this: each pale square is the city's whole area, the strong square inside it the part that is built on; one scale for all three, so a bigger square is more land. Hatched is the UN's projection.

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 Dausa 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 Dausa publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
