01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Chattogram—3,920,222, Asia/Dhaka, 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 Chattogram is GeoNames ID 1205733. Its recorded administrative path is Chittagong → Bangladesh, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Chattogram 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, Chattogram ranks 83 by recorded population. Inside the 10 selected Bangladesh entries it ranks 2; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 54. Its 3,920,222 population value is 4.37 times the 897,484 median for the country cohort and 3.89 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Chattogram falls between the leading tenth and quarter of this atlas's Bangladesh population cohort. Chattogram's recorded value reaches at least twice the country-cohort median in this snapshot. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Chattogram's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Hāthazāri at 18.637 km with 498,179 recorded people; Bandarban at 42.958 km with 495,272 recorded people; Comilla at 141.396 km with 634,654 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 122.759 km. Compared with Hāthazāri, Chattogram's recorded population is 7.87 times as large. Against Chattogram, Hāthazāri follows Chittagong → Bangladesh in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Bangladesh cohort, uses the shared Asia/Dhaka identifier, and carries populated place rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Chattogram's. Against Chattogram, Bandarban follows Bandarban → Chittagong → Bangladesh in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Bangladesh cohort, uses the shared Asia/Dhaka identifier, and carries populated place rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Chattogram's. Against Chattogram, Comilla follows Cumilla → Chittagong → Bangladesh in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Bangladesh cohort, uses the shared Asia/Dhaka identifier, and carries populated place rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Chattogram's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 252 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Chattogram's nearest-coordinate gap falls between the tightest tenth and quarter of the atlas. 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 1205733, the coordinate pair 22.3384 / 91.8317, country rank 2 of 10, and neighbor GeoNames 1462674 at 18.637 km bind Chattogram to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Chattogram's reference point is 22.3384° north and 91.8317° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Dhaka is shared by 10 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Chattogram's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Chattogram's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Chattogram's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Chattogram, 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.
