01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Asunción—1,482,200, America/Asuncion, 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: capital of Paraguay.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Asunción is GeoNames ID 3439389. Its recorded administrative path is Asuncion → Paraguay, and GeoNames classifies the place as a capital of a political entity. Asunción 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 2019-09-05; 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, Asunción ranks 323 by recorded population. Inside the 1 selected Paraguay entries it ranks 1; inside the 198 entries in its broad region it ranks 48. Its 1,482,200 population value is 1.00 times the 1,482,200 median for the country cohort and 1.82 times the 816,326 regional median. Asunción is rank 1 among the 1 selected Paraguay entries, so a percentage band would overstate this small cohort. Asunción'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.

Asunción'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 3439389, the coordinate pair 25.2865 / 57.6470, country rank 1 of 1, and neighbor GeoNames 3467747 at 620.088 km bind Asunción to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Asunción's reference point is 25.2865° south and 57.6470° west. The IANA identifier America/Asuncion is shared by 1 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLC is shared by 129 rows. Asunción's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Asunción's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Asunción's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Asunción, 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.
