01What the data says — and does not say

02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Bouaké is GeoNames ID 2290956. Its recorded administrative path is Vallee du Bandama District → Côte d’Ivoire, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Bouaké 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 2026-04-13; 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, Bouaké ranks 674 by recorded population. Inside the 3 selected Côte d’Ivoire entries it ranks 3; inside the 243 entries in its broad region it ranks 133. Its 832,371 population value is 0.62 times the 1,340,083 median for the country cohort and 0.92 times the 902,588 regional median. Bouaké is rank 3 among the 3 selected Côte d’Ivoire entries, so a percentage band would overstate this small cohort. Bouaké'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.
Bouaké's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Abobo at 276.951 km with 1,340,083 recorded people; Abidjan at 283.866 km with 6,321,017 recorded people; Kumasi at 392.01 km with 2,544,530 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 115.059 km. Compared with Abobo, Bouaké's recorded population is 0.62 times as large. Against Bouaké, Abobo follows Abidjan Autonomous District → Côte d’Ivoire in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Côte d’Ivoire cohort, uses the shared Africa/Abidjan identifier, and carries populated place rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Bouaké's. Against Bouaké, Abidjan follows Abidjan Autonomous District → Côte d’Ivoire in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Côte d’Ivoire cohort, uses the shared Africa/Abidjan identifier, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Bouaké's. Against Bouaké, Kumasi follows Kumasi → Ashanti → Ghana in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the selected Ghana cohort rather than Côte d’Ivoire, uses Africa/Accra instead of Africa/Abidjan, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Bouaké's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 1,096 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Bouaké'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 2290956, the coordinate pair 7.6939 / 5.0303, country rank 3 of 3, and neighbor GeoNames 2293521 at 276.951 km bind Bouaké to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Bouaké's reference point is 7.6939° north and 5.0303° west. The IANA identifier Africa/Abidjan is shared by 3 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Bouaké's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label. Bouaké's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Bouaké's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Bouaké, 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.
