01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Jinzhou—604,269, 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 Liaoning, People's Republic of China.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Jinzhou is GeoNames ID 2036427. Its recorded administrative path is Jinzhou Shi → Liaoning → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Jinzhou 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 2021-09-20; 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, Jinzhou ranks 924 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 255; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 499. Its 604,269 population value is 0.52 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 0.60 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Jinzhou sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected China entries. Jinzhou'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.
Jinzhou's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Huludao at 47.146 km with 944,495 recorded people; Panshan at 76.531 km with 625,040 recorded people; Panjin at 78.11 km with 1,166,481 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 30.964 km. Compared with Huludao, Jinzhou's recorded population is 0.64 times as large. Against Jinzhou, Huludao follows Huludao Shi → Liaoning → China in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is above Jinzhou's. Against Jinzhou, Panshan follows Panjin Shi → Liaoning → 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 populated place class. Its recorded population is above Jinzhou's. Against Jinzhou, Panjin follows Panjin Shi → Liaoning → 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 second-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is above Jinzhou's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 410 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Jinzhou'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 2036427, the coordinate pair 41.1078 / 121.1417, country rank 255 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 2036662 at 47.146 km bind Jinzhou to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Jinzhou's reference point is 41.1078° north and 121.1417° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Shanghai is shared by 291 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Jinzhou's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Jinzhou's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Jinzhou's place-class field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its time zone is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Jinzhou, 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.
