Gouripur, 
Bangladesh
109,980 people lived in Gouripur in 2025. It is the 5613th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 120th largest in Bangladesh.
Like every city on this site, Gouripur is counted as a built-up area seen from above rather than as a city government's territory. Why that changes the number.

projected (after 2025) · how sure the UN is: high moderate low
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: Bangladesh and its 233 cities in 2025, each a dot whose area is its number of people (the largest is Dhaka). Gouripur 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, Gouripur covered 33 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 1.4 km² of it. That is 13 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 4 by 4 metres.
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.
Of every 100 people in Bangladesh
Its share of Bangladesh
Of every 1,000 people in Bangladesh in 2025, 1 lived in Gouripur, which is 109,980 people.
How to read this: shrink Bangladesh to 1,000 people and this is what you get. The coloured squares are the ones who would live in Gouripur; the grey ones are everybody else, in other cities, in towns and out in the country.

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