Lipetsk

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Lipetsk is GeoNames ID 535121. Its recorded administrative path is Lipetsk Oblast → Russia, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat.

Lipetsk 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, Lipetsk ranks 1,122 by recorded population. Inside the 39 selected Russia entries it ranks 36; inside the 125 entries in its broad region it ranks 111.

Its 509,735 population value is 0.79 times the 648,213 median for the country cohort and 0.77 times the 664,046 regional median. Lipetsk sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected Russia entries.

Lipetsk's recorded value stays within one quarter of the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.

Its recorded population is above Lipetsk's. Against Lipetsk, Tula follows Tula Oblast → Russia in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Russia cohort, uses the shared Europe/Moscow identifier, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class.

Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Russia cohort, uses the shared Europe/Moscow identifier, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Lipetsk's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 714 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Lipetsk'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 535121, the coordinate pair 52.5876 / 39.5515, country rank 36 of 39, and neighbor GeoNames 472045 at 105.122 km bind Lipetsk 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

Lipetsk's reference point is 52.5876° north and 39.5515° east. The IANA identifier Europe/Moscow is shared by 15 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Lipetsk's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label.

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