By far the largest agglomeration in Guinea-Bissau is Bissau with a population of 466,504 (as of January 1, 2005). This means that a third of the country's population is concentrated in the capital region.

The table shows the cities with more than 3000 inhabitants, the results of the census of April 16, 1979 and March 3, 2009 as well as the superordinate administrative unit ( region ) to which the city belongs.
