Population
Which Chongqing?
The 31.87 million figure covers the entire municipality, not only the continuously built-up central city.
Area
Not one continuous city
The 82,400 square kilometre administrative area is larger than many countries and should never be interpreted as one continuous cityscape.
Comparability
Whole municipality versus urban core
Chongqing generated 3.38 trillion yuan of GDP in 2025. The Main Urban Area accounted for 2.65 trillion yuan, or about 78.5 percent of the municipality total. The Main Urban Area recorded 2.65 trillion yuan in 2025. For international city comparisons, whole-municipality Chongqing is often not directly comparable with compact municipal or metropolitan boundaries elsewhere.
