01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Andijan—747,800, Asia/Tashkent, 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 Uzbekistan.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Andijan is GeoNames ID 1514588. Its recorded administrative path is Andijan Region → Uzbekistan, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Andijon 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 2026-04-14; 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, Andijan ranks 735 by recorded population. Inside the 4 selected Uzbekistan entries it ranks 2; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 417. Its 747,800 population value is 1.02 times the 730,510 median for the country cohort and 0.74 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Andijan is rank 2 among the 4 selected Uzbekistan entries, so a percentage band would overstate this small cohort. Andijan'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.
Andijan's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Namangan at 61.807 km with 713,220 recorded people; Tashkent at 268.317 km with 1,978,028 recorded people; Shymkent at 284.922 km with 1,200,000 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 223.115 km. Compared with Namangan, Andijan's recorded population is 1.05 times as large. Against Andijan, Namangan follows Namangan → Uzbekistan in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Uzbekistan cohort, uses the shared Asia/Tashkent identifier, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Andijan's. Against Andijan, Tashkent follows Tashkent → Uzbekistan in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Uzbekistan cohort, uses the shared Asia/Tashkent identifier, and carries capital of a political entity rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Andijan's. Against Andijan, Shymkent follows Shymkent → Kazakhstan in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the selected Kazakhstan cohort rather than Uzbekistan, uses Asia/Almaty instead of Asia/Tashkent, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Andijan's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 513 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Andijan'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 1514588, the coordinate pair 40.7834 / 72.3507, country rank 2 of 4, and neighbor GeoNames 1513157 at 61.807 km bind Andijan to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Andijan's reference point is 40.7834° north and 72.3507° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Tashkent is shared by 3 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Andijan's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label. Andijan's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Andijan's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Andijan, 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.
