Jinhe, 
China
510,984 people lived in Jinhe in 2025. It is the 1087th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 199th largest in China.
The UN measures every city in the world the same way, by where the buildings are rather than where the boundary runs, so this figure and Jinhe's own can differ widely. What counts as a city here.

How Jinhe grew
Count 10 people in Jinhe in 1975 and the same count gives 71.3 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 554,447 people in 2050. It passed 250,000 people between 1985 and 1990.
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: Jinhe is the dot in colour with a ring around it. The grey dots are the other cities of China in 2025, 2,082 in all, led by Shanghai, 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, Jinhe covered 102 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 15 km² of it. That is 30 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 5 by 5 metres. Since 1980, its built-up land has grown to 15.2 times its size, and its people are 6.3 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.

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