01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Bozhou—1,409,436, Asia/Shanghai, 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: prefecture-level city in Anhui, China.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Bozhou is GeoNames ID 1816234. Its recorded administrative path is Bozhou → Anhui → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Bozhou 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 2025-10-24; 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, Bozhou ranks 353 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 115; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 207. Its 1,409,436 population value is 1.21 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.40 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Bozhou sits in the second quarter of this atlas's China population cohort. Bozhou's recorded value stays within one quarter of the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Bozhou's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Shangqiu at 60.637 km with 1,859,723 recorded people; Huaibei at 94.856 km with 1,113,321 recorded people; Zhoukou at 108.552 km with 505,171 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 47.915 km. Compared with Shangqiu, Bozhou's recorded population is 0.76 times as large. Against Bozhou, Shangqiu follows Shangqiu Shi → Henan → China in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Bozhou's. Against Bozhou, Huaibei follows Huaibei Shi → Anhui → China in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Bozhou's. Against Bozhou, Zhoukou follows Zhoukou Shi → Henan → China in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Bozhou's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 507 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Bozhou'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 1816234, the coordinate pair 33.8772 / 115.7703, country rank 115 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1796134 at 60.637 km bind Bozhou to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Bozhou's reference point is 33.8772° north and 115.7703° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Shanghai is shared by 291 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Bozhou's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Bozhou's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Bozhou's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Bozhou, 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.
