01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Maianga—727,681, Africa/Luanda, and source coordinates—from live travel claims. Those fields identify and compare the record; they do not prove current transport, accessibility, census totals, or a City Atlas Club visit.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Maianga is GeoNames ID 2239888. Its recorded administrative path is Luanda → Angola, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Maianga 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 2026-05-12; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.
Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Maianga ranks 759 by recorded population. Inside the 14 selected Angola entries it ranks 5; inside the 243 entries in its broad region it ranks 159. Its 727,681 population value is 1.11 times the 654,033 median for the country cohort and 0.81 times the 902,588 regional median. Maianga sits in the second quarter of this atlas's Angola population cohort. Maianga'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.
Maianga's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Luanda at 1.162 km with 2,776,168 recorded people; Golfe at 3.475 km with 655,796 recorded people; Hoji ya Henda at 7.42 km with 642,050 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 6.258 km. Compared with Luanda, Maianga's recorded population is 0.26 times as large. Against Maianga, Luanda follows Luanda → Angola in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Angola cohort, uses the shared Africa/Luanda identifier, and carries capital of a political entity rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Maianga's. Against Maianga, Golfe follows Luanda → Angola in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Angola cohort, uses the shared Africa/Luanda identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Maianga's. Against Maianga, Hoji ya Henda follows Luanda → Angola in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Angola cohort, uses the shared Africa/Luanda identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Maianga's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 7 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Maianga's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the tightest tenth of the atlas. 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 2239888, the coordinate pair 8.8469 / 13.2370, country rank 5 of 14, and neighbor GeoNames 2240449 at 1.162 km bind Maianga to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Maianga's reference point is 8.8469° south and 13.2370° east. The IANA identifier Africa/Luanda is shared by 14 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Maianga's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label. Maianga's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Maianga's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Maianga, 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.
