Domeez, 
Iraq
129,444 people lived in Domeez in 2025. It is the 4719th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 38th largest in Iraq.
This is the UN's built-up area, drawn from satellite pictures and census maps rather than from the city limits, and the two can be a long way apart. The rule behind it.

How Domeez grew
Count 10 people in Domeez in 2015 and the same count gives 16.8 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 346,006 people in 2050. On the UN's projection it passes 250,000 people between 2035 and 2040. The UN first counts it as a city in 2015, 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 88 cities in Iraq in 2025, and a dot's area is how many people live there, the biggest being Baghdad. The ringed dot in colour is Domeez; 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, Domeez covered 15 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 1.9 km² of it. That is 15 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 4 by 4 metres. Since 2015, its built-up land has grown by 46%, and its people have grown by 68%.
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.
Of every 100 people in Iraq
Its share of Iraq
Of every 1,000 people in Iraq in 2025, 3 lived in Domeez, which is 129,444 people.
How to read this: 1,000 squares, one for every 1,000th person in Iraq; the coloured squares live in Domeez. The grey rest live in other cities, in towns or in the countryside.

How to read this: the figure in front of a name is where that city stands among the 12,138 cities the UN counted in 2025, and each bar is its people, on one scale per list. Numbers are missing where a city has fewer than 300,000 people and so has no page of its own.
Apparatus
Sources and method
The figures for Domeez are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 2015 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 Domeez publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
