01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Duque de Caxias—866,347, 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.

02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Duque de Caxias is GeoNames ID 3464374. Its recorded administrative path is Duque De Caxias → Rio de Janeiro → Brazil, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Duque de Caxias 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 2026-07-14; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.

That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.

The IANA identifier America/Sao_Paulo is shared by 30 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows.

Duque de Caxias's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Duque de Caxias, 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.
