|---|---|
| Metro population (city plus commuting zone) | Not in our data yet |
This is Eurostat's "city" area: the local administrative unit or units where most people live in the urban centre. It is a different definition from a metro area (a city plus its commuting zone). Municipal, greater-city and metro populations are different ways of defining an area, not a population time series. We have not linked a municipal or metro population to this page; adding one needs a verified area relationship and data approved for display.

Why do other sites show a different population for Würzburg?
Population figures depend on the area counted (the municipality, a wider greater-city area, or the whole metro area) and on the year. Many sites also show projections for the current year. This page shows the newest population figure in our Eurostat data, for 1 January 2025.

About this page's data
Every figure on this page comes from Eurostat's City Statistics, the EU's official statistics for cities. National statistical offices supply most figures. This page lists 14 of the figures Eurostat publishes for the city of Würzburg. Each figure carries its own year, and years differ, so the page is not a ranking or a like-for-like comparison with other cities.
Eurostat and the national statistical offices define the exact area of the city of Würzburg; this site does not yet publish a boundary map.
The page name is the label Eurostat uses for this area: Würzburg (Eurostat provider code DE102C).
Updated September 2026: we last refreshed these figures from Eurostat on 1 September 2026. Each one is the newest figure we can show for this area from that data, and each shows its own year. Reporting dates and availability vary by area and indicator.
Missing figures stay missing. We never fill a gap with a regional or national average. We plan to add which country the area is in and a map, climate and metropolitan-area population once each has passed its own source and rights review.
