What the data says — and does not say

This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Krasnoyarsk—1,090,811, Asia/Krasnoyarsk, 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 Krasnoyarsk is GeoNames ID 1502026. Its recorded administrative path is Krasnoyarsk Krai → Russia, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Krasnoyarsk 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, Krasnoyarsk ranks 493 by recorded population. Inside the 39 selected Russia entries it ranks 12; inside the 125 entries in its broad region it ranks 34. Its 1,090,811 population value is 1.68 times the 648,213 median for the country cohort and 1.64 times the 664,046 regional median. Krasnoyarsk sits in the second quarter of this atlas's Russia population cohort. Krasnoyarsk'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

Krasnoyarsk's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Kemerovo at 434.34 km with 558,973 recorded people; Novokuznetsk at 448.755 km with 539,616 recorded people; Tomsk at 493.244 km with 574,002 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 58.904 km. Compared with Kemerovo, Krasnoyarsk's recorded population is 1.95 times as large. Against Krasnoyarsk, Kemerovo follows Kuzbass → Russia in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Russia cohort, uses Asia/Novokuznetsk instead of Asia/Krasnoyarsk, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Krasnoyarsk's. Against Krasnoyarsk, Novokuznetsk follows Kuzbass → Russia in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Russia cohort, uses Asia/Novokuznetsk instead of Asia/Krasnoyarsk, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Krasnoyarsk's. Against Krasnoyarsk, Tomsk follows Tomskiy Rayon → Tomsk Oblast → Russia in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Russia cohort, uses Asia/Tomsk instead of Asia/Krasnoyarsk, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Krasnoyarsk's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 1,167 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Krasnoyarsk'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 1502026, the coordinate pair 56.0374 / 92.9314, country rank 12 of 39, and neighbor GeoNames 1503901 at 434.34 km bind Krasnoyarsk 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

Krasnoyarsk's reference point is 56.0374° north and 92.9314° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Krasnoyarsk is shared by 1 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Krasnoyarsk's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label. Krasnoyarsk's point falls in the higher-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Krasnoyarsk's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Krasnoyarsk, 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.
