01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Dublin—1,024,027, Europe/Dublin, 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 and largest city of Ireland.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Dublin is GeoNames ID 2964574. Its recorded administrative path is Dublin City → Leinster → Ireland, and GeoNames classifies the place as a capital of a political entity. Dublin 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 2022-03-09; 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, Dublin ranks 534 by recorded population. Inside the 1 selected Ireland entries it ranks 1; inside the 125 entries in its broad region it ranks 38. Its 1,024,027 population value is 1.00 times the 1,024,027 median for the country cohort and 1.54 times the 664,046 regional median. Dublin is rank 1 among the 1 selected Ireland entries, so a percentage band would overstate this small cohort. Dublin'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.
Dublin's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Liverpool at 217.15 km with 496,770 recorded people; Manchester at 266.377 km with 568,996 recorded people; Birmingham at 306.589 km with 1,157,603 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 89.439 km. Compared with Liverpool, Dublin's recorded population is 2.06 times as large. Against Dublin, Liverpool follows Liverpool → England → United Kingdom in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the selected United Kingdom cohort rather than Ireland, uses Europe/London instead of Europe/Dublin, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than capital of a political entity. Its recorded population is below Dublin's. Against Dublin, Manchester follows Manchester → England → United Kingdom in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the selected United Kingdom cohort rather than Ireland, uses Europe/London instead of Europe/Dublin, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than capital of a political entity. Its recorded population is below Dublin's. Against Dublin, Birmingham follows City and Borough of Birmingham → England → United Kingdom in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the selected United Kingdom cohort rather than Ireland, uses Europe/London instead of Europe/Dublin, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than capital of a political entity. Its recorded population is above Dublin's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 1,029 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Dublin'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 2964574, the coordinate pair 53.3331 / 6.2489, country rank 1 of 1, and neighbor GeoNames 2644210 at 217.15 km bind Dublin to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Dublin's reference point is 53.3331° north and 6.2489° west. The IANA identifier Europe/Dublin is shared by 1 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLC is shared by 129 rows. Dublin's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Dublin's point falls in the higher-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Dublin's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Dublin, 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.
