Source identity and administrative path
The source row behind Kalaburagi is GeoNames ID 1270752. Its recorded administrative path is Gulbarga → Karnataka → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Kalaburagi 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 2025-05-24; 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, Kalaburagi ranks 1,031 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 93; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 549. Its 543,147 population value is 0.54 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 0.54 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Kalaburagi sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected India entries. Kalaburagi'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.
Nearest-reference pattern
Kalaburagi's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Sholapur at 105.166 km with 997,281 recorded people; Hyderabad (India) at 171.885 km with 6,993,262 recorded people; Nanded at 209.034 km with 550,564 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 103.868 km. Compared with Sholapur, Kalaburagi's recorded population is 0.54 times as large. Against Kalaburagi, Sholapur follows Solapur → Maharashtra → India in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries the same populated place class. Its recorded population is above Kalaburagi's. Against Kalaburagi, Hyderabad (India) follows Hyderabad → Telangana → India in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is above Kalaburagi's. Against Kalaburagi, Nanded follows Nanded → Maharashtra → India in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries the same populated place class. Its recorded population is above Kalaburagi's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 716 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Kalaburagi's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the wider half 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 1270752, the coordinate pair 17.3358 / 76.8376, country rank 93 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1256436 at 105.166 km bind Kalaburagi 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
Kalaburagi's reference point is 17.3358° north and 76.8376° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Kolkata is shared by 109 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Kalaburagi's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Kalaburagi's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Kalaburagi's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Kalaburagi, 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.
