01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Iztapalapa—1,835,486, America/Mexico_City, 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.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Iztapalapa is GeoNames ID 3526683. Its recorded administrative path is Iztapalapa → Mexico City → Mexico, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Iztapalapa 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 2025-10-22; 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, Iztapalapa ranks 233 by recorded population. Inside the 39 selected Mexico entries it ranks 3; inside the 198 entries in its broad region it ranks 30. Its 1,835,486 population value is 2.27 times the 808,416 median for the country cohort and 2.25 times the 816,326 regional median. Iztapalapa falls inside the leading tenth of this atlas's Mexico population cohort. Iztapalapa's recorded value reaches at least twice the country-cohort median in this snapshot. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.

Iztapalapa's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the tightest tenth of the atlas. 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 3526683, the coordinate pair 19.3553 / 99.0622, country rank 3 of 39, and neighbor GeoNames 3530589 at 7.08 km bind Iztapalapa to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Iztapalapa's reference point is 19.3553° north and 99.0622° west. The IANA identifier America/Mexico_City is shared by 22 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Iztapalapa's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Iztapalapa's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Iztapalapa's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Iztapalapa, 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.
