01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Baoji—1,437,802, Asia/Shanghai, 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 Baoji is GeoNames ID 10942359. Its recorded administrative path is Baoji Shi → Shaanxi → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Baoji 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 2025-08-18; 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, Baoji ranks 341 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 110; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 198. Its 1,437,802 population value is 1.23 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.43 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Baoji sits in the second quarter of this atlas's China population cohort. Baoji's recorded value stays within one quarter of the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Baoji's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Xianyang at 134.579 km with 1,034,081 recorded people; Tianshui at 139.02 km with 1,212,791 recorded people; Pingliang at 139.598 km with 504,848 recorded people.

Its recorded population is below Baoji's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 834 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Baoji'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 10942359, the coordinate pair 34.3678 / 107.2371, country rank 110 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1790353 at 134.579 km bind Baoji to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Baoji's reference point is 34.3678° north and 107.2371° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Shanghai is shared by 291 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Baoji's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Baoji's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Baoji's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Baoji, 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.
