Łódź

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Łódź is GeoNames ID 3093133. Its recorded administrative path is Lodz → Lodz Voivodeship → Poland, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Łódź 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 2026-06-21; 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, Łódź ranks 869 by recorded population. Inside the 6 selected Poland entries it ranks 4; inside the 125 entries in its broad region it ranks 69.

Its 639,890 population value is 0.98 times the 656,218 median for the country cohort and 0.96 times the 664,046 regional median. Łódź is rank 4 among the 6 selected Poland entries, so a percentage band would overstate this small cohort. Łódź'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

Łódź's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Warsaw at 117.002 km with 1,702,139 recorded people; Wrocław at 184.946 km with 672,545 recorded people; Poznań at 187.651 km with 536,151 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 70.649 km. Compared with Warsaw, Łódź's recorded population is 0.38 times as large. Against Łódź, Warsaw follows Warszawa → Mazovia → Poland in the source.

Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Poland cohort, uses the shared Europe/Warsaw identifier, and carries capital of a political entity rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Łódź's. Against Łódź, Wrocław follows Wroclaw → Lower Silesia → Poland in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Poland cohort, uses the shared Europe/Warsaw identifier, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class.

Its recorded population is above Łódź's. Against Łódź, Poznań follows Poznan → Greater Poland → Poland in the source.

Its recorded population is below Łódź's.

Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 755 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Łódź'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 3093133, the coordinate pair 51.7706 / 19.4740, country rank 4 of 6, and neighbor GeoNames 756135 at 117.002 km bind Łódź 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

Łódź's reference point is 51.7706° north and 19.4740° east. The IANA identifier Europe/Warsaw is shared by 6 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Łódź's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Łódź's point falls in the higher-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Łódź's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly.

GeoNames supplies no elevation for Łódź, 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.
