Anju has a population of 50,196, making it the 50th largest place we list in North Korea. It is in South Pyongan.

Anju holds 0.19% of North Korea's 26,633,691 people. Pyongyang, the largest place we list there, is 64 times its size. The World Gazetteer published 50,196 for Anju in 2005 and GeoNames still carries that same figure, so there is no measured change to report.

Figures are the latest available in GeoNames (CC BY 4.0), which draws on national censuses of varying dates — treat them as recent, not same-year. Country totals are UN World Population Prospects 2024 (medium variant) where the UN lists the country separately; the handful it reports under a parent state keep a GeoNames figure and are marked as such.
