01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Eskişehir—921,630, 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: metropolitan municipality in Central Anatolia, Turkey.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Eskişehir is GeoNames ID 315202. Its recorded administrative path is Eskisehir → Türkiye, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Eskişehir 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 2026-04-14; 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, Eskişehir ranks 597 by recorded population. Inside the 26 selected Türkiye entries it ranks 12; inside the 243 entries in its broad region it ranks 119. Its 921,630 population value is 1.16 times the 792,110 median for the country cohort and 1.02 times the 902,588 regional median. Eskişehir sits in the second quarter of this atlas's Türkiye population cohort. Eskişehir'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.

Eskişehir'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 315202, the coordinate pair 39.7767 / 30.5206, country rank 12 of 26, and neighbor GeoNames 750269 at 132.857 km bind Eskişehir to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Eskişehir's reference point is 39.7767° north and 30.5206° east. The IANA identifier Europe/Istanbul is shared by 26 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Eskişehir's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label. Eskişehir's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Eskişehir's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Eskişehir, 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.
