01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Bahçelievler—576,799, Europe/Istanbul, 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: district of İstanbul, northwestern Turkey.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Bahçelievler is GeoNames ID 7627067. Its recorded administrative path is Bahcelievler → Istanbul → Türkiye, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Bahçelievler 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 2025-05-11; 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, Bahçelievler ranks 965 by recorded population. Inside the 26 selected Türkiye entries it ranks 18; inside the 243 entries in its broad region it ranks 197.

Bahçelievler sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected Türkiye entries. Bahçelievler's recorded value is materially below the country-cohort median used here.

Bahçelievler's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the tightest tenth of the atlas. 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 7627067, the coordinate pair 41.0023 / 28.8598, country rank 18 of 26, and neighbor GeoNames 751324 at 4.091 km bind Bahçelievler to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Bahçelievler's reference point is 41.0023° north and 28.8598° east. The IANA identifier Europe/Istanbul is shared by 26 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Bahçelievler's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Bahçelievler's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Bahçelievler's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Bahçelievler, 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.
