Patahi, 
India
268,862 people lived in Patahi in 2025. It is the 2167th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 350th largest in India.
That figure counts the whole built-up area, not the area Patahi governs, so it may be far from the number the city publishes about itself. How the UN measures a city.

How Patahi grew
For every 10 people in Patahi in 2015, there were 18.1 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 468,708 people in 2050. It passed 250,000 people between 2020 and 2025. The UN first counts it as a city in 2015, 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: Patahi is the dot in colour with a ring around it. The grey dots are the other cities of India in 2025, 2,054 in all, led by New Delhi, 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, Patahi covered 104 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 4.1 km² of it. That is 15 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 4 by 4 metres. Since 2015, its built-up land has grown to 2.6 times its size, and its people have grown by 81%.
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 Patahi are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 2015 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 Patahi publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
