Maoming

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Maoming is GeoNames ID 1801180. Its recorded administrative path is Maoming Shi → Guangdong → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat.

Maoming 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 2022-01-16; 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, Maoming ranks 385 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 125; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 226.

Its 1,307,802 population value is 1.12 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.30 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Maoming sits in the second quarter of this atlas's China population cohort.

Maoming'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.

Against Maoming, Zhanjiang follows Zhanjiang Shi → Guangdong → 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 above Maoming's. Against Maoming, Yangjiang follows Yangjiang Shi → Guangdong → 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 Maoming's. Against Maoming, Yulin follows Yulin Shi → Guangxi → 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 third-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Maoming's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 572 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Maoming'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 1801180, the coordinate pair 21.6663 / 110.9136, country rank 125 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1784990 at 72.638 km bind Maoming 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

Maoming's reference point is 21.6663° north and 110.9136° 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. Maoming's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.

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