Detailed Analysis

Wuxi Region contains the Wuxi metropolitan area and 2 metropolitan counties. It has an area of 4 785 km² and a population of 5 086 586.

The Wuxi metropolitan area has an area of 1 621 km² and a population of 2 606 839. Wuxi proper has a population of 880 117 in 30 street committees. The 2000 Census gives a population of 1 580 513 with suburbs. The 1982 Census gives a population of 812 610 in 397 km² for Wuxi, which suggests about 650 000 in the urban area. This gives a long-run growth rate of 5.1% and a 2004 estimated population of 1 900 000 corresponding to the measured area of 140 km².

XZQH's area figures for the metropolitan districts do not appear to be reliable due to reorganizations of the districts since the 2000 Census.
