Kawaguchi

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Kawaguchi is GeoNames ID 1859730. Its recorded administrative path is Kawaguchi-shi → Saitama → Japan, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat.

Kawaguchi 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 2022-09-02; 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, Kawaguchi ranks 917 by recorded population. Inside the 34 selected Japan entries it ranks 24; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 495.

Its 607,373 population value is 0.79 times the 769,894 median for the country cohort and 0.60 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Kawaguchi sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected Japan entries.

Kawaguchi'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

The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 4.995 km. Compared with Saitama, Kawaguchi's recorded population is 0.46 times as large. Against Kawaguchi, Saitama follows Saitama-shi → Saitama → Japan in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Japan cohort, uses the shared Asia/Tokyo identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat.

Its recorded population is above Kawaguchi's. Against Kawaguchi, Tokyo follows Tokyo → Japan in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Japan cohort, uses the shared Asia/Tokyo identifier, and carries capital of a political entity rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Kawaguchi's. Against Kawaguchi, Matsudo follows Matsudo Shi → Chiba → Japan in the source.

Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Japan cohort, uses the shared Asia/Tokyo identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Kawaguchi's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 179 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Kawaguchi's nearest-coordinate gap falls between the tightest tenth and quarter of the atlas. 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 1859730, the coordinate pair 35.8052 / 139.7107, country rank 24 of 34, and neighbor GeoNames 6940394 at 12.435 km bind Kawaguchi 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

Kawaguchi's reference point is 35.8052° north and 139.7107° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Tokyo is shared by 34 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Kawaguchi's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.

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