01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Esenyurt—983,571, Europe/Istanbul, 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: town in Istanbul Province, Turkey.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Esenyurt is GeoNames ID 747323. Its recorded administrative path is Esenyurt → Istanbul → Türkiye, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Esenyurt 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 2026-06-22; 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, Esenyurt ranks 562 by recorded population. Inside the 26 selected Türkiye entries it ranks 11; inside the 243 entries in its broad region it ranks 112. Its 983,571 population value is 1.24 times the 792,110 median for the country cohort and 1.09 times the 902,588 regional median. Esenyurt sits in the second quarter of this atlas's Türkiye population cohort. Esenyurt'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.

Esenyurt'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 747323, the coordinate pair 41.0270 / 28.6773, country rank 11 of 26, and neighbor GeoNames 742394 at 8.835 km bind Esenyurt to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Esenyurt's reference point is 41.0270° north and 28.6773° east. The IANA identifier Europe/Istanbul is shared by 26 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Esenyurt's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Esenyurt's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Esenyurt's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Esenyurt, 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.
