Kawasaki

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Kawasaki is GeoNames ID 1859642. Its recorded administrative path is Kawasaki-shi → Kanagawa → Japan, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat.

Kawasaki 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 2024-12-29; 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, Kawasaki ranks 307 by recorded population. Inside the 34 selected Japan entries it ranks 7; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 178.

Its 1,538,262 population value is 2.00 times the 769,894 median for the country cohort and 1.53 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Kawasaki falls between the leading tenth and quarter of this atlas's Japan population cohort.

Kawasaki's recorded value is above the country-cohort median but remains below twice that benchmark. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.

Nearest-reference pattern

Kawasaki's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Ōta at 4.527 km with 748,081 recorded people; Yokohama at 11.451 km with 3,777,491 recorded people; Tokyo at 18.926 km with 9,733,276 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 14.399 km. Compared with Ōta, Kawasaki's recorded population is 2.06 times as large. Against Kawasaki, Ōta follows Ota-ku → Tokyo → 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 the same second-order administrative seat class.

Its recorded population is below Kawasaki's. Against Kawasaki, Yokohama follows Yokohama Shi → Kanagawa → 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 first-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Kawasaki's. Against Kawasaki, Tokyo follows Tokyo → 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 capital of a political entity rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Kawasaki's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 38 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Kawasaki's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the tightest tenth 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 1859642, the coordinate pair 35.5206 / 139.7172, country rank 7 of 34, and neighbor GeoNames 8469289 at 4.527 km bind Kawasaki 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

Kawasaki's reference point is 35.5206° north and 139.7172° 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. Kawasaki's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.

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