Xingping, 
China
363,206 people lived in Xingping in 2025. It is the 1575th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 290th largest in China.
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 Xingping's own can differ widely. What counts as a city here.

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

Area and built-up land · km²
How much land it covers
In 2025, Xingping covered 59 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 11 km² of it. That is 31 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 6 by 6 metres. Since 1985, its built-up land has grown to 8.1 times its size, and its people are 7 times as many.
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.

How to read this: the number before each name is its place among all 12,138 cities in the world in 2025; bars are people, on one scale per list. Only cities that reach 300,000 people have a page here, so a gap in the numbers is a smaller city.
Apparatus
Sources and method
The figures for Xingping 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 Xingping publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
