01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Comilla—634,654, 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 Comilla is GeoNames ID 1185186. Its recorded administrative path is Cumilla → Chittagong → Bangladesh, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Comilla 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 2026-07-09; 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, Comilla ranks 878 by recorded population. Inside the 10 selected Bangladesh entries it ranks 7; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 480. Its 634,654 population value is 0.71 times the 897,484 median for the country cohort and 0.63 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Comilla sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected Bangladesh entries. Comilla'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.
Comilla's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Dhaka at 83.922 km with 10,356,500 recorded people; Gazipur at 97.915 km with 2,674,697 recorded people; Hāthazāri at 124.316 km with 498,179 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 40.394 km. Compared with Dhaka, Comilla's recorded population is 0.06 times as large. Against Comilla, Dhaka follows Dhaka → Dhaka Division → 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 capital of a political entity rather than populated place. Its recorded population is above Comilla's. Against Comilla, Gazipur follows Gazipur → Dhaka Division → 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 second-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is above Comilla's. Against Comilla, Hāthazāri follows 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 the same populated place class. Its recorded population is below Comilla's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 632 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Comilla'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 1185186, the coordinate pair 23.4619 / 91.1850, country rank 7 of 10, and neighbor GeoNames 1185241 at 83.922 km bind Comilla to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Comilla's reference point is 23.4619° north and 91.1850° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Dhaka is shared by 10 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Comilla's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Comilla's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Comilla's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Comilla, 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.
