01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Mumbai—12,691,836, Asia/Kolkata, 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: capital city in Maharashtra, India.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Mumbai is GeoNames ID 1275339. Its recorded administrative path is Maharashtra → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Mumbai 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 2024-09-05; 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, Mumbai ranks 11 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 1; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 8. Its 12,691,836 population value is 12.67 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 12.59 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Mumbai falls inside the leading tenth of this atlas's India population cohort. Mumbai'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.
Mumbai's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Thane at 16.219 km with 1,841,488 recorded people; Borivli at 18.187 km with 609,617 recorded people; Bhayandar at 25.649 km with 809,378 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 9.43 km. Compared with Thane, Mumbai's recorded population is 6.89 times as large. Against Mumbai, Thane follows Thane → Maharashtra → India in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries populated place rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Mumbai's. Against Mumbai, Borivli follows Mumbai Suburban → Maharashtra → India in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries populated place rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Mumbai's. Against Mumbai, Bhayandar follows Thane → Maharashtra → India in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries populated place rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Mumbai's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 228 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Mumbai'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 1275339, the coordinate pair 19.0728 / 72.8826, country rank 1 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1254661 at 16.219 km bind Mumbai to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Mumbai's reference point is 19.0728° north and 72.8826° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Kolkata is shared by 109 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Mumbai's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label. Mumbai's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Mumbai's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Mumbai, 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.
