United States
404,680 people lived in North Richland Hills in 2025. It is the 1397th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 47th largest in the United States.
This is the UN's built-up area, drawn from satellite pictures and census maps rather than from the city limits, and the two can be a long way apart. The rule behind it.

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: every dot is one of the 348 cities in the United States in 2025, and a dot's area is how many people live there, the biggest being New York City. The ringed dot in colour is North Richland Hills; the grey dots are the rest. The outlines around them are neighbouring countries.
Area and built-up land · km²
How much land it covers
In 2025, North Richland Hills covered 183 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 43 km² of it. That is 106 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 10 by 10 metres. Since 2000, its built-up land has grown to 6.5 times its size, and its people are 6.9 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.

Apparatus
Sources and method
The figures for North Richland Hills 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 North Richland Hills publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
