01What the data says — and does not say

What the data says — and does not say

This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Curitiba—1,948,626, America/Sao_Paulo, 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.

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Curitiba is GeoNames ID 3464975. Its recorded administrative path is Curitiba → Parana → Brazil, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Curitiba 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.

Population position inside fixed cohorts

Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Curitiba ranks 211 by recorded population. Inside the 48 selected Brazil entries it ranks 8; inside the 198 entries in its broad region it ranks 28. Its 1,948,626 population value is 2.57 times the 758,563 median for the country cohort and 2.39 times the 816,326 regional median. Curitiba falls between the leading tenth and quarter of this atlas's Brazil population cohort. Curitiba's recorded value reaches at least twice the country-cohort median in this snapshot. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.

Nearest-reference pattern

Curitiba's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Joinville at 106.451 km with 664,500 recorded people; Florianópolis at 251.694 km with 508,826 recorded people; Sorocaba at 282.152 km with 762,172 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 175.701 km. Compared with Joinville, Curitiba's recorded population is 2.93 times as large. Against Curitiba, Joinville follows Joinville → Santa Catarina → Brazil in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Brazil cohort, uses the shared America/Sao_Paulo identifier, and carries populated place rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Curitiba's. Against Curitiba, Florianópolis follows Florianopolis → Santa Catarina → Brazil in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Brazil cohort, uses the shared America/Sao_Paulo identifier, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Curitiba's. Against Curitiba, Sorocaba follows Sorocaba → Sao Paulo → Brazil in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Brazil cohort, uses the shared America/Sao_Paulo identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Curitiba's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 721 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Curitiba'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 3464975, the coordinate pair 25.4278 / 49.2731, country rank 8 of 48, and neighbor GeoNames 3459712 at 106.451 km bind Curitiba 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

Curitiba's reference point is 25.4278° south and 49.2731° west. The IANA identifier America/Sao_Paulo is shared by 30 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Curitiba's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Curitiba's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Curitiba's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Curitiba, 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.
