01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Jammu—576,198, 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 Jammu Division, India.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Jammu is GeoNames ID 1269321. Its recorded administrative path is Jammu → Jammu and Kashmir → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Jammu 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.
Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Jammu ranks 967 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 87; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 520. Its 576,198 population value is 0.58 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 0.57 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Jammu sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected India entries. Jammu'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.
Jammu's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Sialkot at 41.048 km with 911,817 recorded people; Gujrat at 75.756 km with 574,240 recorded people; Gujranwala at 90.339 km with 2,511,118 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 49.291 km. Compared with Sialkot, Jammu's recorded population is 0.63 times as large. Against Jammu, Sialkot follows Sialkot → Punjab → Pakistan in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the selected Pakistan cohort rather than India, uses Asia/Karachi instead of Asia/Kolkata, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Jammu's. Against Jammu, Gujrat follows Gujrat District → Punjab → Pakistan in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the selected Pakistan cohort rather than India, uses Asia/Karachi instead of Asia/Kolkata, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Jammu's. Against Jammu, Gujranwala follows Gujranwala District → Punjab → Pakistan in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the selected Pakistan cohort rather than India, uses Asia/Karachi instead of Asia/Kolkata, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Jammu's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 363 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Jammu'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 1269321, the coordinate pair 32.7353 / 74.8617, country rank 87 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1164909 at 41.048 km bind Jammu to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Jammu's reference point is 32.7353° north and 74.8617° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Kolkata is shared by 109 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Jammu's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Jammu's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Jammu's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Jammu, 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.
