Eskisehir, 
Türkiye
766,333 people lived in Eskisehir in 2025. It is the 694th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 10th largest in Türkiye.
That figure counts the whole built-up area, not the area Eskisehir governs, so it may be far from the number the city publishes about itself. How the UN measures a city.

How Eskisehir grew
Count 10 people in Eskisehir in 1975 and the same count gives 37 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 870,506 people in 2050. It passed 250,000 people between 1980 and 1985.
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 177 cities in Türkiye in 2025, and a dot's area is how many people live there, the biggest being Istanbul. The ringed dot in colour is Eskisehir; 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, Eskisehir covered 107 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 25 km² of it. That is 32 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 6 by 6 metres. Since 1975, its built-up land has grown to 3.4 times its size, and its people are 3.7 times as many.
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.
Of every 100 people in Türkiye
Its share of Türkiye
Of every 1,000 people in Türkiye in 2025, 9 lived in Eskisehir, which is 766,333 people.
How to read this: 1,000 squares, one for every 1,000th person in Türkiye; the coloured squares live in Eskisehir. 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 Eskisehir 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 Eskisehir publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
