Source identity and administrative path
The source row behind Bilimora is GeoNames ID 1275610. Its recorded administrative path is Navsari → Gujarat → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Bilimora 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.
Population position inside fixed cohorts
Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Bilimora ranks 1,115 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 102; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 587. Its 510,879 population value is 0.51 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 0.51 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Bilimora sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected India entries. Bilimora'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.
Nearest-reference pattern
Bilimora's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Surat at 49.326 km with 4,591,246 recorded people; Nashik at 121.869 km with 1,486,053 recorded people; Bhavnagar at 138.599 km with 605,882 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 89.273 km. Compared with Surat, Bilimora's recorded population is 0.11 times as large. Against Bilimora, Surat follows Surat → Gujarat → India in the source. Its point has higher 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 Bilimora's. Against Bilimora, Nashik follows Nashik Division → Maharashtra → India in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is above Bilimora's. Against Bilimora, Bhavnagar follows Bhavnagar → Gujarat → India in the source. Its point has higher 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 Bilimora's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 429 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Bilimora'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 1275610, the coordinate pair 20.7696 / 72.9613, country rank 102 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1255364 at 49.326 km bind Bilimora to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Coordinate, time-zone and class cohorts
Bilimora's reference point is 20.7696° north and 72.9613° 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. Bilimora's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Bilimora's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Bilimora's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Bilimora, 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.
