East Asia & Pacific · HKWhere is Hong Kong?
Hong Kong is grouped in the World Bank's East Asia & Pacific region. A capital is not listed in the imported metadata. The profile's representative coordinates are 22.4° N, 114.11° E; they are orientation points, not geometric centroids or boundary claims.
How large is Hong Kong?
EqualAtlas calculates a consistent spherical area from the same Natural Earth boundary geometry used for the map. For Hong Kong, that mapped area is approximately 1,029 square kilometres, ranking #182 among 238 mapped country and territory profiles. It may differ slightly from figures published by national statistical offices because coastlines, inland water and territorial definitions vary by dataset.
People and place
Hong Kong had a World Bank population value of 7,498,900 in 2025. Using the displayed mapped area, that is about 7,287.6 people per square kilometre. Area and population answer different questions, so EqualAtlas keeps their reference methods visible rather than combining them into an unexplained ranking.
For wider context, the latest imported World Bank GDP value is $427.3B for 2025, ranking #38 among 185 profiles with data. This current-dollar measure should not be read as a cost-of-living or household-income comparison.
The latest imported life expectancy at birth value is 85.4 years for 2024, ranking #3 among 215 profiles with data. It is a period estimate based on prevailing mortality rates, not a prediction for an individual person.
