01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Kasur—510,875, Asia/Karachi, 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: Historical City in Province Punjab (Pakistan).
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Kasur is GeoNames ID 1174625. Its recorded administrative path is Kasur → Punjab → Pakistan, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Kasur 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 2025-02-05; 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, Kasur ranks 1,116 by recorded population. Inside the 31 selected Pakistan entries it ranks 28; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 588. Its 510,875 population value is 0.70 times the 725,000 median for the country cohort and 0.51 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Kasur sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected Pakistan entries. Kasur'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.
Kasur's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Chunian at 47.983 km with 634,236 recorded people; Lahore at 49.759 km with 13,004,135 recorded people; Amritsar at 69.033 km with 1,159,227 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 21.05 km. Compared with Chunian, Kasur's recorded population is 0.81 times as large. Against Kasur, Chunian follows Kasur → Punjab → Pakistan in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Pakistan cohort, uses the shared Asia/Karachi identifier, and carries populated place rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Kasur's. Against Kasur, Lahore follows Lahore District → Punjab → Pakistan in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Pakistan cohort, uses the shared Asia/Karachi identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Kasur's. Against Kasur, Amritsar follows Amritsar → Punjab → India in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the selected India cohort rather than Pakistan, uses Asia/Kolkata instead of Asia/Karachi, and carries populated place rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Kasur's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 415 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Kasur'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 1174625, the coordinate pair 31.1187 / 74.4503, country rank 28 of 31, and neighbor GeoNames 1180942 at 47.983 km bind Kasur to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Kasur's reference point is 31.1187° north and 74.4503° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Karachi is shared by 31 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Kasur's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Kasur's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Kasur's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Kasur, 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.
