Korhogo, Côte d’Ivoire

Count 10 people in Korhogo in 1980 and the same count gives 57 in 2025.

On the UN's projection it will have 557,686 people in 2050. It passed 250,000 people between 2010 and 2015. The UN first counts it as a city in 1980, when it passed 50,000 people.

projected (after 2025) · how sure the UN is: high moderate low

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.

How to read this: every dot is one of the 47 cities in Côte d’Ivoire in 2025, and a dot's area is how many people live there, the biggest being Abidjan. The ringed dot in colour is Korhogo; the grey dots are the rest. The outlines around them are neighbouring countries.

In 2025, Korhogo covered 67 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 20 km² of it. That is 56 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 7 by 7 metres. Since 1980, its built-up land has grown to 2.8 times its size, and its people are 5.7 times as many.

How to read this: each pale square is the city's whole area, the strong square inside it the part that is built on; one scale for all three, so a bigger square is more land. Hatched is the UN's projection.

Of every 100 people in Côte d’Ivoire in 2025, 1 lived in Korhogo, which is 357,761 people.

How to read this: 100 squares stand for everyone in Côte d’Ivoire, one square for every 100th person. Count the coloured ones and you have Korhogo'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.

The figures for Korhogo are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 1980 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 Korhogo publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
