01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Kota Damansara—500,000, Asia/Kuala_Lumpur, 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.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Kota Damansara is GeoNames ID 12514556. Its recorded administrative path is Petaling → Selangor → Malaysia, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Kota Damansara 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 2024-04-21; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.
Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Kota Damansara ranks 1,144 by recorded population. Inside the 20 selected Malaysia entries it ranks 19; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 602.

Kota Damansara sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected Malaysia entries. Kota Damansara's recorded value stays within one quarter of the country-cohort median used here.

Kota Damansara'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 12514556, the coordinate pair 3.1545 / 101.5802, country rank 19 of 20, and neighbor GeoNames 1771023 at 5.23 km bind Kota Damansara to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Kota Damansara's reference point is 3.1545° north and 101.5802° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Kuala_Lumpur is shared by 19 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Kota Damansara's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Kota Damansara's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Kota Damansara's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Kota Damansara, 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.
