Faridabad

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Faridabad is GeoNames ID 1271951. Its recorded administrative path is Faridabad District → Haryana → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat.

Faridabad 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 2025-11-04; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.

Population position inside fixed cohorts

Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Faridabad ranks 352 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 28; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 206.

Its 1,414,050 population value is 1.41 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 1.40 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Faridabad falls between the leading tenth and quarter of this atlas's India population cohort.

Faridabad's recorded value is above the country-cohort median but remains below twice that benchmark. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.

Faridabad's nearest-coordinate gap sits in the second quarter 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 1271951, the coordinate pair 28.4112 / 77.3132, country rank 28 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1273294 at 27.93 km bind Faridabad to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.

Coordinate, time-zone and class cohorts

Faridabad's reference point is 28.4112° north and 77.3132° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Kolkata is shared by 109 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Faridabad's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.

Faridabad's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Faridabad's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Faridabad, 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.
