DATA |
---|
Official censuses and estimations are mostly the basis of the population figures presented on this web site; the definition of agglomerations is sometimes based on unofficial or own estimates. Please note that the data of such statistics are all of varying, and some of suspect accuracy. There are several reasons: the varying relevance and accuracy of the base data, the poor comparability of the definitions of agglomerations, errors in the projections and so on. If population figures are depicted by an italic font, then they have a lower quality than the other data. Reasons may be (e.g.) that the value is based on my own estimates or calculations, that the referred area has changed its extension, or that the given population figure refers to another state or date of investigation than the other figures in the same column. For non-central cities and towns that belong to an agglomeration, the name of the central city of the agglomeration is often given as a relative link in agglomeration columns. Please, reference data taken from these web pages as follows: |

Using a Java 2 plug-in, the population figures can be visualized by an interactive diagram viewer. This does not work for Mozilla browsers like Firefox because of "LiveConnect" problems. |
KMZ | EXAMPLE | INFO |

KMZ files allow adding placemarks to Google Earth. City Population provides such files for selected countries. Links to KMZ files can be found in the overview pages of the continents; they are marked by the symbol. For using the City Population links in the description of the placemark, Google Earth should be operated with integrated web browser display option. |
