Langfang

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Langfang is GeoNames ID 1804540. Its recorded administrative path is Langfang Shi → Hebei → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat.

Langfang 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 2023-09-06; 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, Langfang ranks 642 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 200; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 370.

Its 868,066 population value is 0.74 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 0.86 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Langfang sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected China entries.

Langfang's recorded value is materially below the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.

Nearest-reference pattern

Langfang's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Beijing at 50.857 km with 18,960,744 recorded people; Tianjin at 57.885 km with 11,090,314 recorded people; Sanhe at 59.41 km with 965,075 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 8.553 km. Compared with Beijing, Langfang's recorded population is 0.05 times as large. Against Langfang, Beijing follows Beijing → China in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries capital of a political entity rather than second-order administrative seat.

Its recorded population is above Langfang's. Against Langfang, Tianjin follows Tianjin Municipality → Tianjin → China in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Langfang's. Against Langfang, Sanhe follows Langfang Shi → Hebei → China in the source.

Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries third-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Langfang's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 444 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Langfang's nearest-coordinate gap sits in the second quarter 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 1804540, the coordinate pair 39.5208 / 116.7147, country rank 200 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1816670 at 50.857 km bind Langfang 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

Langfang's reference point is 39.5208° north and 116.7147° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Shanghai is shared by 291 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Langfang's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.

Langfang's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Langfang's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Langfang, 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.
