Banan

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Banan is GeoNames ID 1909733. Its recorded administrative path is Chongqing → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a third-order administrative seat.

Banan 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 2022-04-01; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.

Population position inside fixed cohorts

Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Banan ranks 1,125 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 286; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 591.

Its 508,703 population value is 0.44 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 0.50 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Banan sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected China entries.

Banan's recorded value is materially below the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.

Nearest-reference pattern

Banan's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Chongqing at 20.271 km with 7,457,599 recorded people; Luzhou at 121.08 km with 998,900 recorded people; Guang'an at 122.174 km with 858,159 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 101.903 km. Compared with Chongqing, Banan's recorded population is 0.07 times as large. Against Banan, Chongqing follows Chongqing → China in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than third-order administrative seat.

Its recorded population is above Banan's. Against Banan, Luzhou follows Luzhou Shi → Sichuan → China in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than third-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Banan's. Against Banan, Guang'an follows Guang'an Shi → Sichuan → China in the source.

Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than third-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Banan's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 264 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Banan's nearest-coordinate gap falls between the tightest tenth and quarter 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 1909733, the coordinate pair 29.3786 / 106.5400, country rank 286 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1814906 at 20.271 km bind Banan to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.

Coordinate, time-zone and class cohorts

Banan's reference point is 29.3786° north and 106.5400° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Shanghai is shared by 291 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA3 is shared by 60 rows. Banan's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.

Banan's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Banan's place-class field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its time zone is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Banan, 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.
