Sources and method
The figures for Valparaíso de Goiás are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 1985 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 Valparaíso de Goiás publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
