Čukarica (Serbian Cyrillic: Чукарица, pronounced [t͡ʃukǎrit͡sa]) is an urban neighborhood and one of the 17 municipalities that constitute the city of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia.
Municipality of Čukarica covers an area of 155 km2 (60 sq mi) and it is divided in the urban and suburban part.
Urban part of the municipality is completely within the Belgrade City proper, comprising many neighborhoods and sub-neighborhoods, some of which used to be separate towns until the 1970s before Belgrade expanded that much to make urban connection to them (Žarkovo, Železnik):
The suburban part comprises seven suburban settlements, four of them classified as urban and three as rural settlements:
The municipality has a population of 181,231 inhabitants, according to the 2011 census results. That makes Čukarica the second most populous municipality of Belgrade (after Novi Beograd), but it is also the fastest growing one in terms of absolute growth of population (relative, about 1.05% annually). Despite having also a rural part, the municipality is very densely populated – 1,155/km2 (2,990/sq mi).
Ethnic structure (2002): Serbs 91.3%, Montenegrins 1.4%, Romani 1.1%, Yugoslavs 1.1%, ethnic Macedonians 0.5%, Croats 0.5%.
Čukarica is completely surrounded by other municipalities of Belgrade: it is bordered by the Sava river to the west, municipalities of Savski Venac to the north and northeast, Rakovica to the east, Voždovac to the southeast, Barajevo to the south and Obrenovac to the southwest.
