Haizhou District, 
China
850,645 people lived in Haizhou District in 2025. It is the 614th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 92nd largest in China.
That figure counts the whole built-up area, not the area Haizhou District governs, so it may be far from the number the city publishes about itself. How the UN measures a city.

How Haizhou District grew
Count 10 people in Haizhou District in 1975 and the same count gives 36.7 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 797,762 people in 2050. It passed 250,000 people between 1975 and 1980.
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: China and its 2,082 cities in 2025, each a dot whose area is its number of people (the largest is Shanghai). Haizhou District 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, Haizhou District covered 95 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 23 km² of it. That is 27 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 5 by 5 metres. Since 1975, its built-up land has grown to 3.3 times its size, and its people are 3.7 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.
Of every 100 people in China
Its share of China
Of every 1,000 people in China in 2025, 1 lived in Haizhou District, which is 850,645 people.
How to read this: shrink China to 1,000 people and this is what you get. The coloured squares are the ones who would live in Haizhou District; 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 Haizhou District 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 Haizhou District publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
