01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Jepara—1,257,912, 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.
Wikidata's localized description: district in Jepara Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Jepara is GeoNames ID 1642548. Its recorded administrative path is Kabupaten Jepara → Central Java → Indonesia, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Jepara 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 2023-02-09; 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, Jepara ranks 408 by recorded population. Inside the 29 selected Indonesia entries it ranks 13; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 241. Its 1,257,912 population value is 1.08 times the 1,166,066 median for the country cohort and 1.25 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Jepara sits in the second quarter of this atlas's Indonesia population cohort. Jepara's recorded value stays within one quarter of the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.

The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 188.495 km. Compared with Semarang, Jepara's recorded population is 0.74 times as large. Against Jepara, Semarang follows Kota Semarang → Central Java → Indonesia in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Indonesia cohort, uses the shared Asia/Jakarta identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Jepara's. Against Jepara, Surakarta follows Kota Surakarta → Central Java → Indonesia in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Indonesia cohort, uses the shared Asia/Jakarta identifier, and carries populated place rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Jepara's. Against Jepara, Surabaya follows Kota Surabaya → East Java → Indonesia in the source.

Its recorded population is above Jepara's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 453 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Jepara'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 1642548, the coordinate pair 6.5924 / 110.6710, country rank 13 of 29, and neighbor GeoNames 1627896 at 52.42 km bind Jepara to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Jepara's reference point is 6.5924° south and 110.6710° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Jakarta is shared by 23 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Jepara's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Jepara's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Jepara's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Jepara, 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.
