Luohe, 
China
1,018,295 people lived in Luohe in 2025. It is the 505th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 71st largest in China.
Like every city on this site, Luohe is counted as a built-up area seen from above rather than as a city government's territory. Why that changes the number.

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
How to read this: China and its 2,082 cities in 2025, each a dot whose area is its number of people (the largest is Shanghai). Luohe is ringed, in colour; the other cities are grey. Neighbouring countries are outlines.
Area and built-up land · km²
How much land it covers
In 2025, Luohe covered 186 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 38 km² of it. That is 37 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 6 by 6 metres. Since 1975, its built-up land has grown to 6.7 times its size, and its people are 5.8 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 China
Its share of China
Of every 1,000 people in China in 2025, 1 lived in Luohe, which is 1.0 million people.
How to read this: 1,000 squares, one for every 1,000th person in China; the coloured squares live in Luohe. The grey rest live in other cities, in towns or in the countryside.

How to read this: the number before each name is its place among all 12,138 cities in the world in 2025; bars are people, on one scale per list. Only cities that reach 300,000 people have a page here, so a gap in the numbers is a smaller city.
Apparatus
Sources and method
The figures for Luohe 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 Luohe publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
