01What the data says — and does not say

02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Ebute Ikorodu is GeoNames ID 2344082. Its recorded administrative path is Ikorodu → Lagos → Nigeria, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Ebute Ikorodu 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 2026-01-03; 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, Ebute Ikorodu ranks 1,053 by recorded population. Inside the 30 selected Nigeria entries it ranks 29; inside the 243 entries in its broad region it ranks 220.

Ebute Ikorodu sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected Nigeria entries. Ebute Ikorodu's recorded value is materially below the country-cohort median used here.

Ebute Ikorodu's nearest-coordinate gap falls between the tightest tenth and quarter of the atlas. 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 2344082, the coordinate pair 6.6009 / 3.4882, country rank 29 of 30, and neighbor GeoNames 2351943 at 17.178 km bind Ebute Ikorodu to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Ebute Ikorodu's reference point is 6.6009° north and 3.4882° east. The IANA identifier Africa/Lagos is shared by 30 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Ebute Ikorodu's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Ebute Ikorodu's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Ebute Ikorodu's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Ebute Ikorodu, 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.
