01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Jiaozuo—865,413, Asia/Shanghai, 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: prefecture-level city in Henan, China.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Jiaozuo is GeoNames ID 1805987. Its recorded administrative path is Jiaozuo Shi → Henan → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Jiaozuo 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 2025-05-15; 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, Jiaozuo ranks 645 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 201; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 371. Its 865,413 population value is 0.74 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 0.86 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Jiaozuo sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected China entries. Jiaozuo'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.
Jiaozuo's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Xinxiang at 51.378 km with 1,047,088 recorded people; Zhengzhou at 65.248 km with 4,253,913 recorded people; Luoyang at 96.458 km with 1,390,581 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 45.08 km. Compared with Xinxiang, Jiaozuo's recorded population is 0.83 times as large. Against Jiaozuo, Xinxiang follows Xinxiang Shi → Henan → China in the source.

Its recorded population is above Jiaozuo's. Against Jiaozuo, Zhengzhou follows Zhengzhou Shi → Henan → China in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Jiaozuo's. Against Jiaozuo, Luoyang follows Luoyang Shi → Henan → China in the source.

Its recorded population is above Jiaozuo's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 446 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Jiaozuo'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 1805987, the coordinate pair 35.2393 / 113.2391, country rank 201 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1788572 at 51.378 km bind Jiaozuo to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Jiaozuo's reference point is 35.2393° north and 113.2391° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Shanghai is shared by 291 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Jiaozuo's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Jiaozuo's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Jiaozuo's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Jiaozuo, 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.
