01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Agra—1,430,055, Asia/Kolkata, 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: city in Uttar Pradesh, India.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Agra is GeoNames ID 1279259. Its recorded administrative path is Agra → Uttar Pradesh → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Agra 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 2025-10-31; 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, Agra ranks 347 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 27; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 203. Its 1,430,055 population value is 1.43 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 1.42 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Agra falls between the leading tenth and quarter of this atlas's India population cohort. Agra's recorded value is above the country-cohort median but remains below twice that benchmark. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Agra's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Aligarh at 77.838 km with 753,207 recorded people; Gwalior at 107.161 km with 1,054,420 recorded people; Faridabad at 153.071 km with 1,414,050 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 75.233 km. Compared with Aligarh, Agra's recorded population is 1.90 times as large. Against Agra, Aligarh follows Aligarh → Uttar Pradesh → India in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries populated place rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Agra's. Against Agra, Gwalior follows Gwalior → Madhya Pradesh → India in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries populated place rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Agra's. Against Agra, Faridabad follows Faridabad District → Haryana → India in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Agra's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 603 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Agra's nearest-coordinate gap sits in the second quarter of atlas distances. 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 1279259, the coordinate pair 27.1833 / 78.0167, country rank 27 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1279017 at 77.838 km bind Agra to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Agra's reference point is 27.1833° north and 78.0167° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Kolkata is shared by 109 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Agra's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Agra's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Agra's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Agra, 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.
