01What the data says — and does not say

What the data says — and does not say

This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Konya—1,433,861, Europe/Istanbul, 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: metropolitan municipality in Central Anatolia, Turkey.

This city's dataset fingerprint

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Konya is GeoNames ID 306571. Its recorded administrative path is Konya → Türkiye, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Konya 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 2026-04-14; 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, Konya ranks 345 by recorded population. Inside the 26 selected Türkiye entries it ranks 9; inside the 243 entries in its broad region it ranks 70. Its 1,433,861 population value is 1.81 times the 792,110 median for the country cohort and 1.59 times the 902,588 regional median. Konya sits in the second quarter of this atlas's Türkiye population cohort. Konya'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

Konya's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Antalya at 190.925 km with 1,335,002 recorded people; Mersin at 223.919 km with 537,842 recorded people; Çankaya at 229.905 km with 792,189 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 38.98 km. Compared with Antalya, Konya's recorded population is 1.07 times as large. Against Konya, Antalya follows Antalya → Türkiye in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Türkiye cohort, uses the shared Europe/Istanbul identifier, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Konya's. Against Konya, Mersin follows Mersin → Türkiye in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Türkiye cohort, uses the shared Europe/Istanbul identifier, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Konya's. Against Konya, Çankaya follows Cankaya → Ankara → Türkiye in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Türkiye cohort, uses the shared Europe/Istanbul identifier, and carries populated place rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Konya's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 968 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Konya'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 306571, the coordinate pair 37.8714 / 32.4846, country rank 9 of 26, and neighbor GeoNames 323777 at 190.925 km bind Konya 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

Konya's reference point is 37.8714° north and 32.4846° east. The IANA identifier Europe/Istanbul is shared by 26 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Konya's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label. Konya's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Konya's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Konya, 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.
