01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Aurangabad—1,175,116, 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 the district of Sambhajinagar.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Aurangabad is GeoNames ID 1278149. Its recorded administrative path is Aurangabad → Maharashtra → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Aurangabad 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 2025-05-25; 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, Aurangabad ranks 455 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 42; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 266. Its 1,175,116 population value is 1.17 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 1.17 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Aurangabad sits in the second quarter of this atlas's India population cohort. Aurangabad's recorded value stays within one quarter of the country-cohort median used here.

Aurangabad'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 1278149, the coordinate pair 19.8776 / 75.3423, country rank 42 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1264115 at 112.637 km bind Aurangabad to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Aurangabad's reference point is 19.8776° north and 75.3423° 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. Aurangabad's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Aurangabad's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Aurangabad's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Aurangabad, 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.
