Huzhou

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Huzhou is GeoNames ID 1806535. Its recorded administrative path is Huzhou Shi → Zhejiang → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat.

Huzhou 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 2025-08-20; 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, Huzhou ranks 540 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 170; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 315.

Its 1,015,937 population value is 0.87 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.01 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Huzhou sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected China entries.

Huzhou'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.

Nearest-reference pattern

The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 4.05 km. Compared with Yixing, Huzhou's recorded population is 0.79 times as large. Against Huzhou, Yixing follows Wuxi Shi → Jiangsu → China in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries third-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat.

Its recorded population is above Huzhou's. Against Huzhou, Jiaxing follows Jiaxing Shi → Zhejiang → China in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Huzhou's. Against Huzhou, Hangzhou follows Hangzhou Shi → Zhejiang → China in the source.

Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Huzhou's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 505 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Huzhou'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 1806535, the coordinate pair 30.8703 / 120.0933, country rank 170 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1786760 at 60.401 km bind Huzhou 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

Huzhou's reference point is 30.8703° north and 120.0933° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Shanghai is shared by 291 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Huzhou's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.

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