Valladolid, 
Spain
323,201 people lived in Valladolid in 2025. It is the 1778th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 14th largest in Spain.
That figure counts the whole built-up area, not the area Valladolid governs, so it may be far from the number the city publishes about itself. How the UN measures a city.

How Valladolid grew
Count 10 people in Valladolid in 1975 and the same count gives 12.2 in 2025.
On the UN's projection it will have 323,534 people in 2050.
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: Valladolid is the dot in colour with a ring around it. The grey dots are the other cities of Spain in 2025, 84 in all, led by Madrid, 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, Valladolid covered 54 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 15 km² of it. That is 45 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 22%.
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 Spain
Its share of Spain
Of every 1,000 people in Spain in 2025, 7 lived in Valladolid, which is 323,201 people.
How to read this: 1,000 squares stand for everyone in Spain, one square for every 1,000th person. Count the coloured ones and you have Valladolid'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 Valladolid 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 Valladolid publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
