Source identity and administrative path
The source row behind Liverpool is GeoNames ID 2644210. Its recorded administrative path is Liverpool → England → United Kingdom, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat.
Liverpool 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 2025-06-26; 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, Liverpool ranks 1,156 by recorded population. Inside the 9 selected United Kingdom entries it ranks 8; inside the 125 entries in its broad region it ranks 116.
Its 496,770 population value is 0.89 times the 556,500 median for the country cohort and 0.75 times the 664,046 regional median. Liverpool is rank 8 among the 9 selected United Kingdom entries, so a percentage band would overstate this small cohort.
Liverpool'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.
Nearest-reference pattern
Liverpool's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Manchester at 49.661 km with 568,996 recorded people; Sheffield at 100.297 km with 556,500 recorded people; Leeds at 103.653 km with 536,280 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 53.992 km. Compared with Manchester, Liverpool's recorded population is 0.87 times as large. Against Liverpool, Manchester follows Manchester → England → United Kingdom in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected United Kingdom cohort, uses the shared Europe/London identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class.
Its recorded population is above Liverpool's. Against Liverpool, Sheffield follows Sheffield → England → United Kingdom in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected United Kingdom cohort, uses the shared Europe/London identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Liverpool's. Against Liverpool, Leeds follows City and Borough of Leeds → England → United Kingdom in the source.
Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected United Kingdom cohort, uses the shared Europe/London identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Liverpool's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 434 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Liverpool'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 2644210, the coordinate pair 53.4106 / 2.9779, country rank 8 of 9, and neighbor GeoNames 2643123 at 49.661 km bind Liverpool 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
Liverpool's reference point is 53.4106° north and 2.9779° west. The IANA identifier Europe/London is shared by 9 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Liverpool's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.
Liverpool's point falls in the higher-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Liverpool's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Liverpool, 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.
