Populations are those counted in the 2017 census (Censos Nacionales 2017, INEI); INEI's estimate including the people the census missed is 31,237,385. Departmental capitals are shown with INEI's city figure, the city across its districts, so Lima is Lima Metropolitana, including Callao (Callao is also shown on its own); other towns are INEI's population centres (centros poblados), so a town spread over two districts, such as Juliaca and San Miguel or Chimbote and Nuevo Chimbote, is shown as two.
