01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Abobo—1,340,083, Africa/Abidjan, and source coordinates—from live travel claims. Those fields identify and compare the record; they do not prove current transport, accessibility, census totals, or a City Atlas Club visit.
Wikidata's localized description: Municipality of the city of Abidjan.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Abobo is GeoNames ID 2293521. Its recorded administrative path is Abidjan Autonomous District → Côte d’Ivoire, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Abobo occurs once as a primary city label in this atlas sample; the numeric ID remains the durable source key if names change. The city row itself was updated 2022-12-14; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.
Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Abobo ranks 374 by recorded population. Inside the 3 selected Côte d’Ivoire entries it ranks 2; inside the 243 entries in its broad region it ranks 74. Its 1,340,083 population value is 1.00 times the 1,340,083 median for the country cohort and 1.48 times the 902,588 regional median. Abobo is rank 2 among the 3 selected Côte d’Ivoire entries, so a percentage band would overstate this small cohort. Abobo's recorded value stays within one quarter of the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Abobo's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Abidjan at 7.038 km with 6,321,017 recorded people; Bouaké at 276.951 km with 832,371 recorded people; Kumasi at 299.9 km with 2,544,530 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 292.862 km. Compared with Abidjan, Abobo's recorded population is 0.21 times as large. Against Abobo, Abidjan follows Abidjan Autonomous District → Côte d’Ivoire in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Côte d’Ivoire cohort, uses the shared Africa/Abidjan identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is above Abobo's. Against Abobo, Bouaké follows Vallee du Bandama District → Côte d’Ivoire in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Côte d’Ivoire cohort, uses the shared Africa/Abidjan identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is below Abobo's. Against Abobo, Kumasi follows Kumasi → Ashanti → Ghana in the source.

Its recorded population is above Abobo's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 104 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Abobo's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the tightest tenth of the atlas. This pattern can reveal whether other catalog references are geographically close, but it cannot establish whether a border crossing is possible or practical, or whether rail, road, fare, or journey-time connections exist. Read as one record signature, GeoNames 2293521, the coordinate pair 5.4161 / 4.0159, country rank 2 of 3, and neighbor GeoNames 2293538 at 7.038 km bind Abobo to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Abobo's reference point is 5.4161° north and 4.0159° west. The IANA identifier Africa/Abidjan is shared by 3 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Abobo's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label. Abobo's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Abobo's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Abobo, so the profile preserves that missing value instead of guessing terrain. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
