Lomé

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Lomé is GeoNames ID 2365267. Its recorded administrative path is Maritime → Togo, and GeoNames classifies the place as a capital of a political entity.

Lomé 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 2025-10-31; 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, Lomé ranks 183 by recorded population. Inside the 1 selected Togo entries it ranks 1; inside the 243 entries in its broad region it ranks 37.

Its 2,188,376 population value is 1.00 times the 2,188,376 median for the country cohort and 2.42 times the 902,588 regional median. Lomé is rank 1 among the 1 selected Togo entries, so a percentage band would overstate this small cohort.

Lomé'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

Lomé's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Accra at 169.335 km with 1,963,264 recorded people; Ajegunle at 235.919 km with 550,000 recorded people; Agege at 239.571 km with 683,600 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 70.236 km. Compared with Accra, Lomé's recorded population is 1.11 times as large. Against Lomé, Accra follows Accra → Greater Accra → Ghana in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the selected Ghana cohort rather than Togo, uses Africa/Accra instead of Africa/Lome, and carries the same capital of a political entity class.

Its recorded population is below Lomé's. Against Lomé, Ajegunle follows Ajeromi/Ifelodun → Lagos → Nigeria in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the selected Nigeria cohort rather than Togo, uses Africa/Lagos instead of Africa/Lome, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than capital of a political entity. Its recorded population is below Lomé's. Against Lomé, Agege follows Agege → Lagos → Nigeria in the source.

Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the selected Nigeria cohort rather than Togo, uses Africa/Lagos instead of Africa/Lome, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than capital of a political entity. Its recorded population is below Lomé's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 928 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Lomé'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 2365267, the coordinate pair 6.1287 / 1.2215, country rank 1 of 1, and neighbor GeoNames 2306104 at 169.335 km bind Lomé 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

Lomé's reference point is 6.1287° north and 1.2215° east. The IANA identifier Africa/Lome is shared by 1 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLC is shared by 129 rows. Lomé's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label.

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