Chuxiong

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Chuxiong is GeoNames ID 1814760. Its recorded administrative path is Chuxiong Yizu Zizhizhou → Yunnan → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat.

Chuxiong 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 2025-08-19; 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, Chuxiong ranks 1,004 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 265; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 532.

Its 555,081 population value is 0.48 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 0.55 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Chuxiong sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected China entries.

Chuxiong'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.

Nearest-reference pattern

The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 82.583 km. Compared with Jianshui, Chuxiong's recorded population is 1.13 times as large. Against Chuxiong, Jianshui follows Pu'er City → Yunnan → 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 populated place rather than second-order administrative seat.

Its recorded population is below Chuxiong's. Against Chuxiong, Kunming follows Kunming Shi → Yunnan → 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 first-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Chuxiong's. Against Chuxiong, Panzhihua follows Panzhihua Shi → Sichuan → 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 above Chuxiong's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 653 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Chuxiong'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 1814760, the coordinate pair 25.0364 / 101.5456, country rank 265 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 9931406 at 90.436 km bind Chuxiong 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

Chuxiong's reference point is 25.0364° north and 101.5456° 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. Chuxiong's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.

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