01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Jingzhou—1,052,282, 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 Hubei, China.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Jingzhou is GeoNames ID 1805540. Its recorded administrative path is Jingzhou Shi → Hubei → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Jingzhou 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 2021-10-20; 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, Jingzhou ranks 510 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 162; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 299. Its 1,052,282 population value is 0.90 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.04 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Jingzhou sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected China entries. Jingzhou'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.
Jingzhou's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Jingmen at 75.995 km with 632,954 recorded people; Yichang at 95.718 km with 1,350,150 recorded people; Yueyang at 139.209 km with 991,465 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 63.214 km. Compared with Jingmen, Jingzhou's recorded population is 1.66 times as large. Against Jingzhou, Jingmen follows Jingmen Shi → Hubei → China in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Jingzhou's. Against Jingzhou, Yichang follows Yichangshi → Hubei → China in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Jingzhou's. Against Jingzhou, Yueyang follows Yueyang Shi → Hunan → 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 populated place rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Jingzhou's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 590 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Jingzhou'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 1805540, the coordinate pair 30.3503 / 112.1903, country rank 162 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1805611 at 75.995 km bind Jingzhou to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Jingzhou's reference point is 30.3503° north and 112.1903° 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. Jingzhou's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Jingzhou's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Jingzhou's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Jingzhou, 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.
