The multiples on this site default to Taiwan. Pick a place you know and the area, population and density are recalculated against it; your choice is remembered in this browser and carries to other pages.
Area and outline represent the physical main island. Population is the official figure used to establish Phu Quoc City in 2020 and covers the wider city archipelago, including smaller islands; main-island density is therefore approximate.
Average administrative density does not describe population distribution in every neighborhood. Compare population definitions and reference dates alongside the numbers.
Place guide
Phu Quoc separates the physical main-island outline from a wider city population. The page keeps that mismatch visible because the land comparison remains valuable.
The tourism portal reports 567 km² for the main island. Phu Quoc City also governs smaller islands, so its official population has a broader boundary.
The displayed density is an approximation created from those two related but unequal objects.
The population is the official scale used when the city was established in 2020, not a claim about the present-day count.
Future updates should replace it only with another official city-wide figure and preserve the scope note.
