01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Miami—487,014, America/New_York, 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.
Wikidata's localized description: city in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Miami is GeoNames ID 4164138. Its recorded administrative path is Miami-Dade County → Florida → United States, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Miami 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 2025-06-25; 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, Miami ranks 1,178 by recorded population. Inside the 43 selected United States entries it ranks 41; inside the 198 entries in its broad region it ranks 193. Its 487,014 population value is 0.62 times the 780,995 median for the country cohort and 0.60 times the 816,326 regional median. Miami sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected United States entries. Miami's recorded value is materially below the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Miami's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Havana at 367.902 km with 2,163,824 recorded people; Jacksonville at 526.712 km with 1,009,833 recorded people; Santiago de Cuba at 780.558 km with 555,865 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 412.656 km. Compared with Havana, Miami's recorded population is 0.23 times as large. Against Miami, Havana follows Havana → Cuba in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the selected Cuba cohort rather than United States, uses America/Havana instead of America/New_York, and carries capital of a political entity rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Miami's. Against Miami, Jacksonville follows Duval County → Florida → United States in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected United States cohort, uses the shared America/New_York identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Miami's. Against Miami, Santiago de Cuba follows Municipio de Santiago de Cuba → Santiago de Cuba Province → Cuba in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the selected Cuba cohort rather than United States, uses America/Havana instead of America/New_York, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Miami's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 1,154 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Miami'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 4164138, the coordinate pair 25.7743 / 80.1937, country rank 41 of 43, and neighbor GeoNames 3553478 at 367.902 km bind Miami to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Miami's reference point is 25.7743° north and 80.1937° west. The IANA identifier America/New_York is shared by 15 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Miami's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Miami's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Miami's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames records Miami at 2 metres above sea level, a single reference value rather than a description of slopes across the city. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
