Jhusi, 
India
431,880 people lived in Jhusi in 2025. It is the 1294th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 206th largest in India.
That figure counts the whole built-up area, not the area Jhusi governs, so it may be far from the number the city publishes about itself. How the UN measures a city.

How Jhusi grew
Count 10 people in Jhusi in 1975 and the same count gives 62.7 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 659,045 people in 2050. It passed 250,000 people between 2005 and 2010.
projected (after 2025) · how sure the UN is: high moderate low
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: Jhusi is the dot in colour with a ring around it. The grey dots are the other cities of India in 2025, 2,054 in all, led by New Delhi, 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, Jhusi covered 79 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 7.6 km² of it. That is 18 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 4 by 4 metres. Since 1995, its built-up land has grown to 5.8 times its size, and its people are 3 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.

How to read this: the figure in front of a name is where that city stands among the 12,138 cities the UN counted in 2025, and each bar is its people, on one scale per list. Numbers are missing where a city has fewer than 300,000 people and so has no page of its own.
Apparatus
Sources and method
The figures for Jhusi 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 Jhusi publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
