Jizzakh, 
Uzbekistan
376,607 people lived in Jizzakh in 2025. It is the 1505th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 7th largest in Uzbekistan.
This is the UN's built-up area, drawn from satellite pictures and census maps rather than from the city limits, and the two can be a long way apart. The rule behind it.

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

Area and built-up land · km²
How much land it covers
In 2025, Jizzakh covered 104 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 32 km² of it. That is 86 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 9 by 9 metres. Since 1975, its built-up land has grown to 2.4 times its size, and its people have grown by 93%.
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.
Of every 100 people in Uzbekistan
Its share of Uzbekistan
Of every 100 people in Uzbekistan in 2025, 1 lived in Jizzakh, which is 376,607 people.
How to read this: 100 squares stand for everyone in Uzbekistan, one square for every 100th person. Count the coloured ones and you have Jizzakh's share; the grey remainder live somewhere else 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 Jizzakh 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 Jizzakh publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
