Rangkasbitung, 
Indonesia
389,934 people lived in Rangkasbitung in 2025. It is the 1460th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 53rd largest in Indonesia.
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.

projected (after 2025) · how sure the UN is: high moderate low
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: Indonesia and its 389 cities in 2025, each a dot whose area is its number of people (the largest is Jakarta). Rangkasbitung 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, Rangkasbitung covered 61 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 5.6 km² of it. That is 14 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 4 by 4 metres. Since 1980, its built-up land has grown to 5.1 times its size, and its people have grown by 90%.
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.

Its share of Indonesia

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 Rangkasbitung 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 Rangkasbitung publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
