01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Bandarban—495,272, Asia/Dhaka, 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 Bandarban is GeoNames ID 1185270. Its recorded administrative path is Bandarban → Chittagong → Bangladesh, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Bāndarban 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 2024-04-08; 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, Bandarban ranks 1,157 by recorded population. Inside the 10 selected Bangladesh entries it ranks 10; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 612. Its 495,272 population value is 0.55 times the 897,484 median for the country cohort and 0.49 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Bandarban sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected Bangladesh entries. Bandarban'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.

Bandarban's nearest-coordinate gap sits in the second quarter 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 1185270, the coordinate pair 22.1953 / 92.2195, country rank 10 of 10, and neighbor GeoNames 1205733 at 42.958 km bind Bandarban to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Bandarban's reference point is 22.1953° north and 92.2195° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Dhaka is shared by 10 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Bandarban's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Bandarban's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Bandarban's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Bandarban, 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.
