Kalaburagi, 
India
753,963 people lived in Kalaburagi in 2025. It is the 712th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 113th largest in India.
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 Kalaburagi's own can differ widely. What counts as a city here.

How Kalaburagi grew
Count 10 people in Kalaburagi in 1975 and the same count gives 19.1 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 809,986 people in 2050.

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: Kalaburagi 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, Kalaburagi covered 69 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 16 km² of it. That is 22 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 5 by 5 metres. Since 1975, its built-up land has grown to 5 times its size, and its people have grown by 91%.
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 India
Its share of India
Of every 1,000 people in India in 2025, 1 lived in Kalaburagi, which is 753,963 people.
How to read this: shrink India to 1,000 people and this is what you get. The coloured squares are the ones who would live in Kalaburagi; 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 Kalaburagi 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 Kalaburagi publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
