Source identity and administrative path
The source row behind Kikolo is GeoNames ID 7758790. Its recorded administrative path is Luanda → Angola, and GeoNames classifies the place as a third-order administrative seat. Kikolo 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 2026-05-12; 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, Kikolo ranks 758 by recorded population. Inside the 14 selected Angola entries it ranks 4; inside the 243 entries in its broad region it ranks 158. Its 728,205 population value is 1.11 times the 654,033 median for the country cohort and 0.81 times the 902,588 regional median. Kikolo falls between the leading tenth and quarter of this atlas's Angola population cohort. Kikolo'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.

Its recorded population is below Kikolo's. Against Kikolo, Mulenvos follows Luanda → Angola in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Angola cohort, uses the shared Africa/Luanda identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than third-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Kikolo's. Against Kikolo, Golfe follows Luanda → Angola in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Angola cohort, uses the shared Africa/Luanda identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than third-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Kikolo's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 66 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Kikolo'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 7758790, the coordinate pair 8.7815 / 13.3338, country rank 4 of 14, and neighbor GeoNames 13631351 at 5.522 km bind Kikolo 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
Kikolo's reference point is 8.7815° south and 13.3338° east. The IANA identifier Africa/Luanda is shared by 14 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA3 is shared by 60 rows. Kikolo's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label. Kikolo's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Kikolo's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Kikolo, 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.
