01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Cuiabá—618,124, America/Cuiaba, 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 Cuiabá is GeoNames ID 3465038. Its recorded administrative path is Cuiaba → Mato Grosso → Brazil, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Cuiabá 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, Cuiabá ranks 904 by recorded population. Inside the 48 selected Brazil entries it ranks 34; inside the 198 entries in its broad region it ranks 147. Its 618,124 population value is 0.81 times the 758,563 median for the country cohort and 0.76 times the 816,326 regional median. Cuiabá sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected Brazil entries. Cuiabá'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.
Cuiabá's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Campo Grande at 560.303 km with 906,092 recorded people; Goiânia at 740.701 km with 1,536,097 recorded people; Aparecida de Goiânia at 744.268 km with 527,796 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 183.965 km. Compared with Campo Grande, Cuiabá's recorded population is 0.68 times as large. Against Cuiabá, Campo Grande follows Campo Grande → Mato Grosso do Sul → Brazil in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Brazil cohort, uses America/Campo_Grande instead of America/Cuiaba, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Cuiabá's. Against Cuiabá, Goiânia follows Goiania → Goias → Brazil in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Brazil cohort, uses America/Sao_Paulo instead of America/Cuiaba, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Cuiabá's. Against Cuiabá, Aparecida de Goiânia follows Aparecida de Goiania → Goias → Brazil in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Brazil cohort, uses America/Sao_Paulo instead of America/Cuiaba, and carries populated place rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Cuiabá's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 1,187 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Cuiabá'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 3465038, the coordinate pair 15.5961 / 56.0967, country rank 34 of 48, and neighbor GeoNames 3467747 at 560.303 km bind Cuiabá to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Cuiabá's reference point is 15.5961° south and 56.0967° west. The IANA identifier America/Cuiaba is shared by 1 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Cuiabá's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Cuiabá's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Cuiabá's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Cuiabá, 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.
