01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Dallas—1,326,087, America/Chicago, 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: city in the state of Texas, United States.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Dallas is GeoNames ID 4684888. Its recorded administrative path is Dallas County → Texas → United States, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Dallas 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 2025-06-25; 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, Dallas ranks 379 by recorded population. Inside the 43 selected United States entries it ranks 13; inside the 198 entries in its broad region it ranks 54. Its 1,326,087 population value is 1.70 times the 780,995 median for the country cohort and 1.62 times the 816,326 regional median. Dallas sits in the second quarter of this atlas's United States population cohort. Dallas'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.
Dallas's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Fort Worth at 48.509 km with 1,008,106 recorded people; Austin at 293.493 km with 974,447 recorded people; Oklahoma City at 305.566 km with 681,054 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 257.057 km. Compared with Fort Worth, Dallas's recorded population is 1.32 times as large. Against Dallas, Fort Worth follows Tarrant County → Texas → United States in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected United States cohort, uses the shared America/Chicago identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Dallas's. Against Dallas, Austin follows Travis County → Texas → United States in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected United States cohort, uses the shared America/Chicago identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Dallas's. Against Dallas, Oklahoma City follows Oklahoma County → Oklahoma → United States in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected United States cohort, uses the shared America/Chicago identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Dallas's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 420 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Dallas's nearest-coordinate gap sits in the second quarter 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 4684888, the coordinate pair 32.7831 / 96.8067, country rank 13 of 43, and neighbor GeoNames 4691930 at 48.509 km bind Dallas to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Dallas's reference point is 32.7831° north and 96.8067° west. The IANA identifier America/Chicago is shared by 11 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Dallas's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Dallas's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Dallas's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames records Dallas at 128 metres above sea level, a single reference value rather than a description of slopes across the city. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
