Tyumen, 
Russia
602,535 people lived in Tyumen in 2025. It is the 904th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 17th largest in Russia.
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 Tyumen's own can differ widely. What counts as a city here.

How Tyumen grew
Count 10 people in Tyumen in 1975 and the same count gives 18.5 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 583,511 people in 2050.

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: Russia and its 254 cities in 2025, each a dot whose area is its number of people (the largest is Moscow). Tyumen 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, Tyumen covered 146 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 28 km² of it. That is 46 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 7 by 7 metres. Since 1975, its built-up land has grown to 2.4 times its size, and its people have grown by 85%.
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.
Of every 100 people in Russia
Its share of Russia
Of every 1,000 people in Russia in 2025, 4 lived in Tyumen, which is 602,535 people.
How to read this: shrink Russia to 1,000 people and this is what you get. The coloured squares are the ones who would live in Tyumen; the grey ones are everybody else, in other cities, in towns and out 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 Tyumen 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 Tyumen publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
