01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Conakry—1,928,389, Africa/Conakry, 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: capital of Guinea.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Conakry is GeoNames ID 2422465. Its recorded administrative path is Conakry Special Zone → Conakry → Guinea, and GeoNames classifies the place as a capital of a political entity. Conakry 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 2023-12-20; 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, Conakry ranks 214 by recorded population. Inside the 2 selected Guinea entries it ranks 1; inside the 243 entries in its broad region it ranks 46. Its 1,928,389 population value is 1.02 times the 1,899,816 median for the country cohort and 2.14 times the 902,588 regional median. Conakry is rank 1 among the 2 selected Guinea entries, so a percentage band would overstate this small cohort. Conakry'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.
Conakry's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Camayenne at 1.196 km with 1,871,242 recorded people; Freetown at 126.513 km with 802,639 recorded people; Monrovia at 479.786 km with 1,542,549 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 478.59 km. Compared with Camayenne, Conakry's recorded population is 1.03 times as large. Against Conakry, Camayenne follows Conakry → Guinea in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Guinea cohort, uses the shared Africa/Conakry identifier, and carries populated place rather than capital of a political entity. Its recorded population is below Conakry's. Against Conakry, Freetown follows Western Area → Sierra Leone in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the selected Sierra Leone cohort rather than Guinea, uses Africa/Freetown instead of Africa/Conakry, and carries the same capital of a political entity class. Its recorded population is below Conakry's. Against Conakry, Monrovia follows Montserrado County → Liberia in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the selected Liberia cohort rather than Guinea, uses Africa/Monrovia instead of Africa/Conakry, and carries the same capital of a political entity class. Its recorded population is below Conakry's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 9 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Conakry'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 2422465, the coordinate pair 9.5380 / 13.6773, country rank 1 of 2, and neighbor GeoNames 2422488 at 1.196 km bind Conakry to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Conakry's reference point is 9.5380° north and 13.6773° west. The IANA identifier Africa/Conakry is shared by 2 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLC is shared by 129 rows. Conakry's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Conakry's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Conakry's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Conakry, 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.
