Jinzhou, 
China
854,575 people lived in Jinzhou in 2025. It is the 612th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 91st largest in China.
Like every city on this site, Jinzhou is counted as a built-up area seen from above rather than as a city government's territory. Why that changes the number.

On the UN's projection it will have 752,694 people in 2050.
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.

Jinzhou through your family’s years
Put in the years your family were born. You’ll see how many people lived in Jinzhou in each of those years, and when each of them turned 30.

Where it is
How to read this: every dot is one of the 2,082 cities in China in 2025, and a dot's area is how many people live there, the biggest being Shanghai. The ringed dot in colour is Jinzhou; the grey dots are the rest. The outlines around them are neighbouring countries.
Area and built-up land · km²
How much land it covers
In 2025, Jinzhou covered 121 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 28 km² of it. That is 33 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 6 by 6 metres. Since 1975, its built-up land has grown to 2.4 times its size, and its people have grown by 65%.
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.
Of every 100 people in China
Its share of China
Of every 1,000 people in China in 2025, 1 lived in Jinzhou, which is 854,575 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 Jinzhou; the grey ones are everybody else, in other cities, in towns and out in the country.

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