01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Maipú—503,635, America/Santiago, 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 Maipú is GeoNames ID 3880980. Its recorded administrative path is Provincia de Santiago → Santiago Metropolitan → Chile, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Maipú 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 2025-09-30; 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, Maipú ranks 1,140 by recorded population. Inside the 3 selected Chile entries it ranks 3; inside the 198 entries in its broad region it ranks 187. Its 503,635 population value is 0.89 times the 568,106 median for the country cohort and 0.62 times the 816,326 regional median. Maipú is rank 3 among the 3 selected Chile entries, so a percentage band would overstate this small cohort. Maipú'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.
Maipú's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Santiago at 12.568 km with 4,837,295 recorded people; Puente Alto at 20.621 km with 568,106 recorded people; Córdoba at 659.876 km with 2,106,734 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 647.308 km. Compared with Santiago, Maipú's recorded population is 0.10 times as large. Against Maipú, Santiago follows Provincia de Santiago → Santiago Metropolitan → Chile in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Chile cohort, uses the shared America/Santiago identifier, and carries capital of a political entity rather than populated place. Its recorded population is above Maipú's. Against Maipú, Puente Alto follows Provincia de Cordillera → Santiago Metropolitan → Chile in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Chile cohort, uses the shared America/Santiago identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is above Maipú's. Against Maipú, Córdoba follows Departamento de Capital → Cordoba → Argentina in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the selected Argentina cohort rather than Chile, uses America/Argentina/Cordoba instead of America/Santiago, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is above Maipú's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 188 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Maipú's nearest-coordinate gap falls between the tightest tenth and quarter 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 3880980, the coordinate pair 33.5142 / 70.7651, country rank 3 of 3, and neighbor GeoNames 3871336 at 12.568 km bind Maipú to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Maipú's reference point is 33.5142° south and 70.7651° west. The IANA identifier America/Santiago is shared by 3 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Maipú's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Maipú's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Maipú's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Maipú, 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.
