Miluo, 
China
315,273 people lived in Miluo in 2025. It is the 1820th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 334th largest in China.
Like every city on this site, Miluo is counted as a built-up area seen from above rather than as a city government's territory. Why that changes the number.

How Miluo grew

On the UN's projection it will have 314,484 people in 2050. It passed 250,000 people between 2015 and 2020. The UN first counts it as a city in 2000, 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: Miluo is the dot in colour with a ring around it. The grey dots are the other cities of China in 2025, 2,082 in all, led by Shanghai, 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, Miluo covered 64 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 10 km² of it. That is 32 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 6 by 6 metres. Since 2000, its built-up land has grown to 3.3 times its size, and its people are 4.4 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: 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 Miluo are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 2000 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 Miluo publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
