01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Ciudad Juárez—1,512,450, America/Ciudad_Juarez, 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: municipal seat of Juárez, State of Chihuahua, Mexico.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Ciudad Juárez is GeoNames ID 4013708. Its recorded administrative path is Juarez → Chihuahua → Mexico, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Ciudad Juárez 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 2025-08-01; 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, Ciudad Juárez ranks 312 by recorded population. Inside the 39 selected Mexico entries it ranks 8; inside the 198 entries in its broad region it ranks 44. Its 1,512,450 population value is 1.87 times the 808,416 median for the country cohort and 1.85 times the 816,326 regional median. Ciudad Juárez falls between the leading tenth and quarter of this atlas's Mexico population cohort. Ciudad Juárez'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.

Ciudad Juárez's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the tightest tenth 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 4013708, the coordinate pair 31.7202 / 106.4608, country rank 8 of 39, and neighbor GeoNames 5520993 at 4.939 km bind Ciudad Juárez to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Ciudad Juárez's reference point is 31.7202° north and 106.4608° west. The IANA identifier America/Ciudad_Juarez is shared by 1 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Ciudad Juárez's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Ciudad Juárez's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Ciudad Juárez's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Ciudad Juárez, 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.
