Deyang

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Deyang is GeoNames ID 1812961. Its recorded administrative path is Deyang Shi → Sichuan → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat.

Deyang 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 2021-10-19; 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, Deyang ranks 751 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 224; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 426.

Its 735,070 population value is 0.63 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 0.73 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Deyang sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected China entries.

Deyang'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.

Its recorded population is above Deyang's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 408 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Deyang'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 1812961, the coordinate pair 31.1302 / 104.3820, country rank 224 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1800627 at 47.122 km bind Deyang 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

Deyang's reference point is 31.1302° north and 104.3820° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Shanghai is shared by 291 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Deyang's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.

Deyang's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Deyang's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Deyang, 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.
