01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Bandung—2,528,163, Asia/Jakarta, 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 Bandung is GeoNames ID 1650357. Its recorded administrative path is Kota Bandung → West Java → Indonesia, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Bandung 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 2026-06-10; 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, Bandung ranks 152 by recorded population. Inside the 29 selected Indonesia entries it ranks 4; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 96. Its 2,528,163 population value is 2.17 times the 1,166,066 median for the country cohort and 2.51 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Bandung falls between the leading tenth and quarter of this atlas's Indonesia population cohort. Bandung's recorded value reaches at least twice the country-cohort median in this snapshot. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Bandung's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Cimahi at 9.028 km with 581,994 recorded people; Tasikmalaya at 81.338 km with 770,839 recorded people; Bogor at 97.378 km with 1,078,351 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 88.35 km. Compared with Cimahi, Bandung's recorded population is 4.34 times as large. Against Bandung, Cimahi follows Kota Cimahi → West Java → Indonesia in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Indonesia cohort, uses the shared Asia/Jakarta identifier, and carries populated place rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Bandung's. Against Bandung, Tasikmalaya follows Kota Tasikmalaya → West Java → Indonesia in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Indonesia cohort, uses the shared Asia/Jakarta identifier, and carries populated place rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Bandung's. Against Bandung, Bogor follows Kota Bogor → West Java → Indonesia in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Indonesia cohort, uses the shared Asia/Jakarta identifier, and carries populated place rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Bandung's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 140 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Bandung'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 1650357, the coordinate pair 6.9222 / 107.6069, country rank 4 of 29, and neighbor GeoNames 1646448 at 9.028 km bind Bandung to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Bandung's reference point is 6.9222° south and 107.6069° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Jakarta is shared by 23 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Bandung's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Bandung's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Bandung's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Bandung, 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.
