Toyohashi, 
Japan
441,665 people lived in Toyohashi in 2025. It is the 1263rd largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 17th largest in Japan.
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: Japan and its 137 cities in 2025, each a dot whose area is its number of people (the largest is Tokyo). Toyohashi 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, Toyohashi covered 169 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 48 km² of it. That is 109 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 10 by 10 metres. Since 1975, its built-up land has grown by 88%, and its people have grown by 57%.
How to read this: the outer pale square stands for all the land the city covers, and the solid square inside it for the part with buildings, roads and the like on it. All three squares share a scale, so you can compare them by eye. A hatched one is a year the UN has projected.
Of every 100 people in Japan
Its share of Japan
Of every 1,000 people in Japan in 2025, 4 lived in Toyohashi, which is 441,665 people.
How to read this: 1,000 squares stand for everyone in Japan, one square for every 1,000th person. Count the coloured ones and you have Toyohashi's share; the grey remainder live somewhere else in the country.

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