Cần Thơ

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Cần Thơ is GeoNames ID 1586203. Its recorded administrative path is Quan Ninh Kieu → Can Tho City → Vietnam, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat.

Cần Thơ 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 2026-04-14; 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, Cần Thơ ranks 313 by recorded population. Inside the 13 selected Vietnam entries it ranks 4; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 180.

Its 1,507,187 population value is 1.18 times the 1,272,235 median for the country cohort and 1.49 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Cần Thơ falls between the leading tenth and quarter of this atlas's Vietnam population cohort.

Cần Thơ'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.

Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Vietnam cohort, uses the shared Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Cần Thơ's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 809 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Cần Thơ'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 1586203, the coordinate pair 10.0371 / 105.7883, country rank 4 of 13, and neighbor GeoNames 1566083 at 126.898 km bind Cần Thơ 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

Cần Thơ's reference point is 10.0371° north and 105.7883° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh is shared by 8 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Cần Thơ's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.

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