What the data says — and does not say

This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Kermanshah—621,100, Asia/Tehran, 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.

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Kermanshah is GeoNames ID 128226. Its recorded administrative path is Kermanshah Province → Iran, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Kermanshah 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 2024-07-17; 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, Kermanshah ranks 898 by recorded population. Inside the 15 selected Iran entries it ranks 9; inside the 243 entries in its broad region it ranks 185. Its 621,100 population value is 0.74 times the 841,145 median for the country cohort and 0.69 times the 902,588 regional median. Kermanshah sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected Iran entries. Kermanshah'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

Kermanshah's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Hamadan at 143.282 km with 528,256 recorded people; Sulaymaniyah at 203.651 km with 878,146 recorded people; Arak at 243.362 km with 503,647 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 100.08 km. Compared with Hamadan, Kermanshah's recorded population is 1.18 times as large. Against Kermanshah, Hamadan follows Hamadan Province → Iran in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Iran cohort, uses the shared Asia/Tehran identifier, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Kermanshah's. Against Kermanshah, Sulaymaniyah follows Qada' as Sulaymaniyah → Sulaymaniyah → Iraq in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the selected Iraq cohort rather than Iran, uses Asia/Baghdad instead of Asia/Tehran, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Kermanshah's. Against Kermanshah, Arak follows Markazi → Iran in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Iran cohort, uses the shared Asia/Tehran identifier, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Kermanshah's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 856 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Kermanshah'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 128226, the coordinate pair 34.3142 / 47.0650, country rank 9 of 15, and neighbor GeoNames 132144 at 143.282 km bind Kermanshah 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

Kermanshah's reference point is 34.3142° north and 47.0650° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Tehran is shared by 15 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Kermanshah's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label. Kermanshah's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Kermanshah's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Kermanshah, 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.
