01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Küçükçekmece—792,030, 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.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Küçükçekmece is GeoNames ID 742394. Its recorded administrative path is Kuecuekcekmece → Istanbul → Türkiye, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Küçükçekmece 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 2026-06-12; 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, Küçükçekmece ranks 700 by recorded population. Inside the 26 selected Türkiye entries it ranks 14; inside the 243 entries in its broad region it ranks 141.

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

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 742394, the coordinate pair 40.9910 / 28.7712, country rank 14 of 26, and neighbor GeoNames 7627067 at 7.538 km bind Küçükçekmece to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Küçükçekmece's reference point is 40.9910° north and 28.7712° east. The IANA identifier Europe/Istanbul is shared by 26 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Küçükçekmece's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Küçükçekmece's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Küçükçekmece's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Küçükçekmece, 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.
