Source identity and administrative path
The source row behind Hubballi is GeoNames ID 1269920. Its recorded administrative path is Dharwad → Karnataka → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Hubballi 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 2025-05-24; 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, Hubballi ranks 588 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 60; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 342. Its 943,788 population value is 0.94 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 0.94 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Hubballi sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected India entries. Hubballi'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.

Its recorded population is below Hubballi's. Against Hubballi, Kolhapur follows Kolhapur → Maharashtra → India in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries the same populated place class. Its recorded population is below Hubballi's. Against Hubballi, Sangli follows Sangli → Maharashtra → India in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries the same populated place class. Its recorded population is below Hubballi's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 645 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Hubballi'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 1269920, the coordinate pair 15.3478 / 75.1338, country rank 60 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1276533 at 87.68 km bind Hubballi 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
Hubballi's reference point is 15.3478° north and 75.1338° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Kolkata is shared by 109 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Hubballi's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Hubballi's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Hubballi's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames records Hubballi at 627 metres above sea level, a single reference value rather than a description of slopes across the city. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
