01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Campinas—1,031,554, America/Sao_Paulo, 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.

02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Campinas is GeoNames ID 3467865. Its recorded administrative path is Campinas → Sao Paulo → Brazil, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Campinas 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 2021-09-19; 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, Campinas ranks 523 by recorded population. Inside the 48 selected Brazil entries it ranks 15; inside the 198 entries in its broad region it ranks 70. Its 1,031,554 population value is 1.36 times the 758,563 median for the country cohort and 1.26 times the 816,326 regional median. Campinas sits in the second quarter of this atlas's Brazil population cohort. Campinas's recorded value is above the country-cohort median but remains below twice that benchmark. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Campinas's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Osasco at 74.942 km with 728,615 recorded people; Sorocaba at 77.729 km with 762,172 recorded people; Guarulhos at 82.135 km with 1,345,364 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 7.193 km. Compared with Osasco, Campinas's recorded population is 1.42 times as large. Against Campinas, Osasco follows Osasco → Sao Paulo → Brazil in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Brazil cohort, uses the shared America/Sao_Paulo identifier, and carries the same populated place class. Its recorded population is below Campinas's. Against Campinas, Sorocaba follows Sorocaba → Sao Paulo → Brazil in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Brazil cohort, uses the shared America/Sao_Paulo identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is below Campinas's. Against Campinas, Guarulhos follows Guarulhos → Sao Paulo → Brazil in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Brazil cohort, uses the shared America/Sao_Paulo identifier, and carries the same populated place class. Its recorded population is above Campinas's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 584 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Campinas'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 3467865, the coordinate pair 22.9056 / 47.0608, country rank 15 of 48, and neighbor GeoNames 3455775 at 74.942 km bind Campinas to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Campinas's reference point is 22.9056° south and 47.0608° west. The IANA identifier America/Sao_Paulo is shared by 30 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Campinas's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Campinas's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Campinas's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Campinas, 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.
