N'dalatando, 
Angola
161,700 people lived in N'dalatando in 2025. It is the 3741st largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 23rd largest in Angola.
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 N'dalatando's own can differ widely. What counts as a city here.

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: N'dalatando is the dot in colour with a ring around it. The grey dots are the other cities of Angola in 2025, 57 in all, led by Luanda, 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, N'dalatando covered 16 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 4.4 km² of it. That is 27 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 5 by 5 metres. Since 1975, its built-up land has grown to 3.1 times its size, and its people are about 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.
Of every 100 people in Angola
Its share of Angola
Of every 1,000 people in Angola in 2025, 4 lived in N'dalatando, which is 161,700 people.
How to read this: 1,000 squares stand for everyone in Angola, one square for every 1,000th person. Count the coloured ones and you have N'dalatando's share; the grey remainder live somewhere else in the country.

How to read this: names are in order of size, the leading number being each city's rank among all 12,138 in 2025; the bars share a scale within a list. A jump in the ranks means a city under 300,000 people, which is not given a page here.
Apparatus
Sources and method
The figures for N'dalatando 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 N'dalatando publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
