Every one of the 1,351 eligible source records has the same chance. Records with the same label remain separate.
These are harmonized urban centres from GHS-WUP-MTUC R2025A v1.1. The names are GHSL source labels. They do not establish official names, legal city limits or permanent city identities.
The eligible set has 1,351 source records, all with a modelled population estimate for 2025. It excludes 47 low-plausibility records from the 1,398 in-scope source records. Values retain every digit of the source token; the two groups use the unrounded estimate.
Scope follows whole source countries or areas in the project's frozen Europe scope, including its Western Asia extensions. National components remain separate, including components of cross-border urban centres. This is a harmonized source universe, not a directory of every settlement.
