Fenghua District, 
China
240,478 people lived in Fenghua District in 2025. It is the 2439th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 430th largest in China.
That figure counts the whole built-up area, not the area Fenghua District governs, so it may be far from the number the city publishes about itself. How the UN measures a city.

How Fenghua District grew
Count 10 people in Fenghua District in 1995 and the same count gives 31.3 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 335,431 people in 2050. On the UN's projection it passes 250,000 people between 2025 and 2030. The UN first counts it as a city in 1995, when it passed 50,000 people.

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: every dot is one of the 2,082 cities in China in 2025, and a dot's area is how many people live there, the biggest being Shanghai. The ringed dot in colour is Fenghua District; 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, Fenghua District covered 40 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 9.8 km² of it. That is 41 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 6 by 6 metres. Since 1995, its built-up land has grown to 5.2 times its size, and its people are 3.1 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.

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