What the data says — and does not say

This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Bhiwandi—874,032, 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.

01

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Bhiwandi is GeoNames ID 1275901. Its recorded administrative path is Thane → Maharashtra → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place.

Bhiwandi 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.

02

Population position inside fixed cohorts

Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Bhiwandi ranks 636 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 65; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 367.

Its 874,032 population value is 0.87 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 0.87 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Bhiwandi sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected India entries.

Bhiwandi'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 1275901, the coordinate pair 19.3002 / 73.0588, country rank 65 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1272423 at 9.641 km bind Bhiwandi to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.

04

Coordinate, time-zone and class cohorts

Bhiwandi's reference point is 19.3002° north and 73.0588° 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. Bhiwandi's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.

Bhiwandi's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Bhiwandi's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Bhiwandi, 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.
