01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Bhatpara—483,129, 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 West Bengal, India.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Bhatpara is GeoNames ID 1276058. Its recorded administrative path is North 24 Parganas → West Bengal → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Bhātpāra 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, Bhatpara ranks 1,187 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 108; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 627. Its 483,129 population value is 0.48 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 0.48 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Bhatpara sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected India entries. Bhatpara'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.
Bhatpara's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Howrah at 33.291 km with 1,027,672 recorded people; Kolkata at 34.006 km with 4,631,392 recorded people; Khulna at 119.374 km with 1,500,689 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 86.083 km. Compared with Howrah, Bhatpara's recorded population is 0.47 times as large. Against Bhatpara, Howrah follows Haora → West Bengal → India in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries the same populated place class. Its recorded population is above Bhatpara's. Against Bhatpara, Kolkata follows Kolkata → West Bengal → India in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is above Bhatpara's. Against Bhatpara, Khulna follows Khulna → Khulna Division → Bangladesh in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the selected Bangladesh cohort rather than India, uses Asia/Dhaka instead of Asia/Kolkata, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is above Bhatpara's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 337 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Bhatpara'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 1276058, the coordinate pair 22.8664 / 88.4011, country rank 108 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1270396 at 33.291 km bind Bhatpara to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Bhatpara's reference point is 22.8664° north and 88.4011° 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. Bhatpara's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Bhatpara's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Bhatpara's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Bhatpara, 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.
