Jiyuan, 
China
392,568 people lived in Jiyuan in 2025. It is the 1449th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 268th 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 Jiyuan's own can differ widely. What counts as a city here.

How Jiyuan grew
For every 10 people in Jiyuan in 1995, there were 47.5 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 342,476 people in 2050. It passed 250,000 people between 2005 and 2010. The UN first counts it as a city in 1995, when it passed 50,000 people.
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: 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 Jiyuan; 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, Jiyuan covered 83 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 20 km² of it. That is 51 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 7 by 7 metres. Since 1995, its built-up land has grown to 3.8 times its size, and its people are 4.7 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: 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 Jiyuan are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 1995 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 Jiyuan publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
