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 3529612, the coordinate pair 19.6049 / 99.0606, country rank 5 of 39, and neighbor GeoNames 3514674 at 13.413 km bind Ecatepec de Morelos to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.

Ecatepec de Morelos's reference point is 19.6049° north and 99.0606° west. The IANA identifier America/Mexico_City is shared by 22 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Ecatepec de Morelos's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.
Ecatepec de Morelos's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Ecatepec de Morelos's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Ecatepec de Morelos, 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.
