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.

How to read this: every dot is one of the 47 cities in Côte d’Ivoire in 2025, and a dot's area is how many people live there, the biggest being Abidjan. The ringed dot in colour is Duekoue; the grey dots are the rest. The outlines around them are neighbouring countries.

In 2025, Duekoue covered 24 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 5.0 km² of it. That is 25 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 5 by 5 metres. Since 1995, its built-up land has grown to 2.5 times its size, and its people are 3.6 times as many.

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 1,000 people in Côte d’Ivoire in 2025, 6 lived in Duekoue, which is 203,323 people.

How to read this: shrink Côte d’Ivoire to 1,000 people and this is what you get. The coloured squares are the ones who would live in Duekoue; the grey ones are everybody else, in other cities, in towns and out in the country.

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.

The figures for Duekoue are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 1995 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 Duekoue publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
