What the numbers say

  • Tokyo, Japan leads at 14,047,594 people.
  • Milano, Italy sits at the other end with 1,365,698 people.
  • The middle of this ranking is 2,316,841 people, across 30 places that publish the metric.
  • The spread between first and last is 12,681,896 people.

What this measures

Every row is a published population observation, ranked highest first. The values were observed between 2020 and 2026. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value.

  • Compare the displayed value, unit, source date and geographic grain together.
  • A city label does not change a regional observation into a city measurement.
