01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Indore—1,994,397, Asia/Kolkata, 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: city in Madhya Pradesh, India.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Indore is GeoNames ID 1269743. Its recorded administrative path is Indore → Madhya Pradesh → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Indore 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 2025-06-20; 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, Indore ranks 201 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 15; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 121. Its 1,994,397 population value is 1.99 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 1.98 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Indore falls between the leading tenth and quarter of this atlas's India population cohort. Indore'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.
Indore's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Ujjain at 51.974 km with 515,215 recorded people; Bhopal at 171.399 km with 1,798,218 recorded people; Vadodara at 273.651 km with 1,822,221 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 221.677 km. Compared with Ujjain, Indore's recorded population is 3.87 times as large. Against Indore, Ujjain follows Ujjain → Madhya Pradesh → 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 Indore's. Against Indore, Bhopal follows Bhopal → Madhya Pradesh → India in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is below Indore's. Against Indore, Vadodara follows Vadodara → Gujarat → India in the source. Its point has lower 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 Indore's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 449 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Indore'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 1269743, the coordinate pair 22.7179 / 75.8333, country rank 15 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1253914 at 51.974 km bind Indore to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Indore's reference point is 22.7179° north and 75.8333° 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. Indore's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Indore's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Indore's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Indore, 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.
