Fujieda, 
Japan
122,203 people lived in Fujieda in 2025. It is the 5014th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 68th largest in Japan.
Like every city on this site, Fujieda is counted as a built-up area seen from above rather than as a city government's territory. Why that changes the number.

How Fujieda grew
Where Fujieda had 10 people in 1975, it had 7.9 in 2025, fewer than it started with.
On the UN's projection it will have 64,968 people in 2050. It passed 250,000 people between 2000 and 2005. The UN's figures for Fujieda fall from 302,037 in 2005 to 64,968 in 2050. The UN rates its own confidence in the 2005 figure as moderate: cities are counted from census maps, and where those are old or coarse the figures are least certain.

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 137 cities in Japan in 2025, and a dot's area is how many people live there, the biggest being Tokyo. The ringed dot in colour is Fujieda; 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, Fujieda covered 70 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 21 km² of it. That is 174 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 13 by 13 metres. Since 1975, its built-up land has grown by 28%, and its people have fallen by 21%.
How to read this: the outer pale square stands for all the land the city covers, and the solid square inside it for the part with buildings, roads and the like on it. All three squares share a scale, so you can compare them by eye. A hatched one is a year the UN has projected.

Its share of Japan
Of every 1,000 people in Japan in 2025, 1 lived in Fujieda, which is 122,203 people.
How to read this: 1,000 squares, one for every 1,000th person in Japan; the coloured squares live in Fujieda. The grey rest live in other cities, in towns or in the countryside.

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