Florianópolis, 
Brazil
682,065 people lived in Florianópolis in 2025. It is the 790th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 26th largest in Brazil.
The UN measures every city in the world the same way, by where the buildings are rather than where the boundary runs, so this figure and Florianópolis's own can differ widely. What counts as a city here.

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: Brazil and its 356 cities in 2025, each a dot whose area is its number of people (the largest is São Paulo). Florianópolis 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, Florianópolis covered 190 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 39 km² of it. That is 57 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 8 by 8 metres. Since 1975, its built-up land has grown to 5.1 times its size, and its people are 11.9 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 Brazil
Its share of Brazil
Of every 1,000 people in Brazil in 2025, 3 lived in Florianópolis, which is 682,065 people.
How to read this: shrink Brazil to 1,000 people and this is what you get. The coloured squares are the ones who would live in Florianópolis; the grey ones are everybody else, in other cities, in towns and out in the country.

How to read this: names are in order of size, the leading number being each city's rank among all 12,138 in 2025; the bars share a scale within a list. A jump in the ranks means a city under 300,000 people, which is not given a page here.
Apparatus
Sources and method
The figures for Florianópolis 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 Florianópolis publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
