01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Aracaju—664,908, America/Maceio, 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 Aracaju is GeoNames ID 3471872. Its recorded administrative path is Aracaju → Sergipe → Brazil, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Aracaju 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 2026-04-13; 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, Aracaju ranks 831 by recorded population. Inside the 48 selected Brazil entries it ranks 29; inside the 198 entries in its broad region it ranks 126. Its 664,908 population value is 0.88 times the 758,563 median for the country cohort and 0.81 times the 816,326 regional median. Aracaju sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected Brazil entries. Aracaju'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.
Aracaju's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Maceió at 201.371 km with 1,031,597 recorded people; Feira de Santana at 255.59 km with 616,272 recorded people; Salvador at 276.652 km with 2,711,840 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 75.281 km. Compared with Maceió, Aracaju's recorded population is 0.64 times as large. Against Aracaju, Maceió follows Maceio → Alagoas → Brazil in the source.

Its recorded population is above Aracaju's. Against Aracaju, Feira de Santana follows Feira de Santana → Bahia → Brazil in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Brazil cohort, uses America/Bahia instead of America/Maceio, and carries populated place rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Aracaju's. Against Aracaju, Salvador follows Salvador → Bahia → Brazil in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Brazil cohort, uses America/Bahia instead of America/Maceio, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Aracaju's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 998 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Aracaju's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the wider half 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 3471872, the coordinate pair 10.9111 / 37.0717, country rank 29 of 48, and neighbor GeoNames 3395981 at 201.371 km bind Aracaju to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Aracaju's reference point is 10.9111° south and 37.0717° west. The IANA identifier America/Maceio is shared by 2 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Aracaju's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Aracaju's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Aracaju's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Aracaju, 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.
