01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Jamshedpur—1,339,438, 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: Cosmopolis in Jharkhand, India.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Jamshedpur is GeoNames ID 1269300. Its recorded administrative path is Purba Singhbhum → Jharkhand → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Jamshedpur 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 2024-01-07; 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, Jamshedpur ranks 375 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 31; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 221. Its 1,339,438 population value is 1.34 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 1.33 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Jamshedpur sits in the second quarter of this atlas's India population cohort. Jamshedpur'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.

Jamshedpur'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 1269300, the coordinate pair 22.8028 / 86.1855, country rank 31 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1275362 at 96.419 km bind Jamshedpur to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Jamshedpur's reference point is 22.8028° north and 86.1855° 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. Jamshedpur's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Jamshedpur's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Jamshedpur's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Jamshedpur, 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.
