02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Acapulco de Juárez is GeoNames ID 3533462. Its recorded administrative path is Acapulco de Juarez → Guerrero → Mexico, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place.

The city row itself was updated 2025-10-22; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.
