Kaifeng

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Kaifeng is GeoNames ID 1804879. Its recorded administrative path is Kaifeng Shi → Henan → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place.

Kaifeng 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.

Population position inside fixed cohorts

Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Kaifeng ranks 336 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 108; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 194.

Its 1,451,741 population value is 1.25 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.44 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Kaifeng sits in the second quarter of this atlas's China population cohort.

Kaifeng'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.

Nearest-reference pattern

Kaifeng's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Zhengzhou at 60.341 km with 4,253,913 recorded people; Xinxiang at 63.412 km with 1,047,088 recorded people; Xuchang at 94.5 km with 1,265,536 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 34.159 km. Compared with Zhengzhou, Kaifeng's recorded population is 0.34 times as large. Against Kaifeng, Zhengzhou follows Zhengzhou Shi → Henan → 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 first-order administrative seat rather than populated place.

Its recorded population is above Kaifeng's. Against Kaifeng, Xinxiang follows Xinxiang Shi → Henan → 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 second-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is below Kaifeng's. Against Kaifeng, Xuchang follows Xuchang Shi → Henan → 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 below Kaifeng's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 504 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Kaifeng'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 1804879, the coordinate pair 34.7986 / 114.3074, country rank 108 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1784658 at 60.341 km bind Kaifeng to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.

Coordinate, time-zone and class cohorts

Kaifeng's reference point is 34.7986° north and 114.3074° 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. Kaifeng's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.

Kaifeng's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Kaifeng's place-class field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its time zone is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Kaifeng, 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.
