Manaus

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Manaus is GeoNames ID 3663517. Its recorded administrative path is Manaus → Amazonas → Brazil, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat.

Manaus 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 2026-04-13; 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, Manaus ranks 178 by recorded population. Inside the 48 selected Brazil entries it ranks 6; inside the 198 entries in its broad region it ranks 22.

Its 2,219,580 population value is 2.93 times the 758,563 median for the country cohort and 2.72 times the 816,326 regional median. Manaus falls between the leading tenth and quarter of this atlas's Brazil population cohort.

Manaus's recorded value reaches at least twice the country-cohort median in this snapshot. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.

Nearest-reference pattern

Manaus's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Porto Velho at 761.569 km with 548,952 recorded people; Macapá at 1,055.145 km with 512,902 recorded people; Belém at 1,292.988 km with 1,499,641 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 531.419 km. Compared with Porto Velho, Manaus's recorded population is 4.04 times as large. Against Manaus, Porto Velho follows Porto Velho → Rondonia → Brazil in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Brazil cohort, uses America/Porto_Velho instead of America/Manaus, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class.

Its recorded population is below Manaus's. Against Manaus, Macapá follows Macapa → Amapa → Brazil in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Brazil cohort, uses America/Belem instead of America/Manaus, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Manaus's. Against Manaus, Belém follows Belem → Para → Brazil in the source.

Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Brazil cohort, uses America/Belem instead of America/Manaus, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Manaus's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 1,197 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Manaus'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 3663517, the coordinate pair 3.1019 / 60.0250, country rank 6 of 48, and neighbor GeoNames 3662762 at 761.569 km bind Manaus 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

Manaus's reference point is 3.1019° south and 60.0250° west. The IANA identifier America/Manaus is shared by 1 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Manaus's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.

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