01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Jambi City—635,101, Asia/Jakarta, 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 Jambi City is GeoNames ID 1642858. Its recorded administrative path is Kota Jambi → Jambi → Indonesia, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Jambi City 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 2026-06-11; 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, Jambi City ranks 876 by recorded population. Inside the 29 selected Indonesia entries it ranks 27; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 478. Its 635,101 population value is 0.54 times the 1,166,066 median for the country cohort and 0.63 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Jambi City sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected Indonesia entries. Jambi City's recorded value is materially below the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.

Jambi City'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 1642858, the coordinate pair 1.6000 / 103.6167, country rank 27 of 29, and neighbor GeoNames 1633070 at 192.809 km bind Jambi City to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Jambi City's reference point is 1.6000° south and 103.6167° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Jakarta is shared by 23 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Jambi City's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Jambi City's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Jambi City's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Jambi City, 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.
