Source identity and administrative path
The source row behind Luohe is GeoNames ID 1801934. Its recorded administrative path is Luohe Shi → Henan → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Luohe 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 2026-05-11; 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, Luohe ranks 392 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 127; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 229. Its 1,294,974 population value is 1.11 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.28 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Luohe sits in the second quarter of this atlas's China population cohort. Luohe'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
Luohe's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Xuchang at 53.247 km with 1,265,536 recorded people; Zhoukou at 56.021 km with 505,171 recorded people; Zhumadian at 65.651 km with 721,670 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 12.404 km. Compared with Xuchang, Luohe's recorded population is 1.02 times as large. Against Luohe, Xuchang follows Xuchang Shi → Henan → 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 the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Luohe's. Against Luohe, Zhoukou follows Zhoukou Shi → Henan → 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 the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Luohe's. Against Luohe, Zhumadian follows Zhumadian Shi → Henan → China in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Luohe's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 466 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Luohe'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 1801934, the coordinate pair 33.5742 / 114.0326, country rank 127 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1788046 at 53.247 km bind Luohe 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
Luohe's reference point is 33.5742° north and 114.0326° 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. Luohe's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Luohe's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Luohe's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Luohe, 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.
