Toraghundi, 
Afghanistan
190,543 people lived in Toraghundi in 2025. It is the 3153rd largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 14th largest in Afghanistan.
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 Toraghundi'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: every dot is one of the 85 cities in Afghanistan in 2025, and a dot's area is how many people live there, the biggest being Kabul. The ringed dot in colour is Toraghundi; 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, Toraghundi covered 9 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 0.7 km² of it.
How to read this: each pale square is the city's whole area, the strong square inside it the part that is built on; one scale for all three, so a bigger square is more land. Hatched is the UN's projection.
Of every 100 people in Afghanistan
Its share of Afghanistan
Of every 1,000 people in Afghanistan in 2025, 4 lived in Toraghundi, which is 190,543 people.
How to read this: shrink Afghanistan to 1,000 people and this is what you get. The coloured squares are the ones who would live in Toraghundi; the grey ones are everybody else, in other cities, in towns and out 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 Toraghundi 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 Toraghundi publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
