This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Aparecida de Goiânia—527,796, America/Sao_Paulo, 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.

02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Aparecida de Goiânia is GeoNames ID 6316406. Its recorded administrative path is Aparecida de Goiania → Goias → Brazil, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Aparecida de Goiânia 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 2026-07-14; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.

That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.

The IANA identifier America/Sao_Paulo is shared by 30 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows.

Aparecida de Goiânia's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly.
