Guarenas, 
Venezuela
399,477 people lived in Guarenas in 2025. It is the 1416th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 9th largest in Venezuela.
Like every city on this site, Guarenas is counted as a built-up area seen from above rather than as a city government's territory. Why that changes the number.

How Guarenas grew
Count 10 people in Guarenas in 1975 and the same count gives 54.5 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 401,028 people in 2050. It passed 250,000 people between 1990 and 1995.
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: Guarenas is the dot in colour with a ring around it. The grey dots are the other cities of Venezuela in 2025, 69 in all, led by Caracas, each drawn with an area that matches its people. Countries next door are outlines only.
Area and built-up land · km²
How much land it covers
In 2025, Guarenas covered 56 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 14 km² of it. That is 35 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 6 by 6 metres. Since 1975, its built-up land has grown to 8.7 times its size, and its people are 5.5 times as many.
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 Venezuela
Its share of Venezuela
Of every 100 people in Venezuela in 2025, 1 lived in Guarenas, which is 399,477 people.
How to read this: 100 squares stand for everyone in Venezuela, one square for every 100th person. Count the coloured ones and you have Guarenas's share; the grey remainder live somewhere else 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 Guarenas 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 Guarenas publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
