01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Bareilly—745,435, Asia/Kolkata, 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: city in Uttar Pradesh, India.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Bareilly is GeoNames ID 1277013. Its recorded administrative path is Bareilly → Uttar Pradesh → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Bareilly 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 2024-01-06; 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, Bareilly ranks 736 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 72; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 418. Its 745,435 population value is 0.74 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 0.74 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Bareilly sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected India entries. Bareilly'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.

Bareilly'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 1277013, the coordinate pair 28.3668 / 79.4317, country rank 72 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1262801 at 82.722 km bind Bareilly to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Bareilly's reference point is 28.3668° north and 79.4317° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Kolkata is shared by 109 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Bareilly's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Bareilly's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Bareilly's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Bareilly, 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.
