Progress checklist

A reliable level-3 population threshold was not found in the sources checked on 15 October 2026. The checks below are community troubleshooting suggestions, not a proven unlock recipe.

What I can give you is the order that does not depend on the missing number. Level 2 first. Then density. Then utilities that stay up when you add the next block. Then a store and a factory that are not idle. Trucks matter here because a mine that cannot ship is a city that looks busy and produces nothing.

Work toward city level 3 without a published threshold

  1. Clear level 2. Be at 250 population with utilities connected. Do not skip that gate.
  2. Keep adding housing on roads. Population is still the signal, even though the next target is unknown.
  3. Stop idle buildings. A shop or factory with no power, water, or workers does not count as a working city.
  4. Add one store that actually sells. The stores page covers the road, power, and worker checks.
  5. Read the demand icon. If your build shows a magnifying-glass style demand hint, follow that instead of a number from an old guide.

Questions

What is the level 3 population requirement?

Not published, and the community pages that rank for this query do not give a figure we can repeat. If you see a precise number with no date, do not trust it over an in-game reading.

Is level 3 one special building?

No source describes a single building that flips the level. It tracks city scale and coverage, the same system as level 2, with the number missing.
