01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Nagpur—2,405,665, 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: city in Maharashtra, India.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Nagpur is GeoNames ID 1262180. Its recorded administrative path is Nagpur Division → Maharashtra → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Nagpur 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 2025-05-25; 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, Nagpur ranks 158 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 13; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 101. Its 2,405,665 population value is 2.40 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 2.39 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Nagpur falls between the leading tenth and quarter of this atlas's India population cohort. Nagpur'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.
Nagpur's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Amravati at 140.548 km with 647,057 recorded people; Jabalpur at 241.705 km with 1,081,677 recorded people; Bhilai at 243.094 km with 627,734 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 102.546 km. Compared with Amravati, Nagpur's recorded population is 3.72 times as large. Against Nagpur, Amravati follows Amravati Division → Maharashtra → India in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Nagpur's. Against Nagpur, Jabalpur follows Jabalpur → Madhya Pradesh → 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 second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Nagpur's. Against Nagpur, Bhilai follows Durg → Chhattisgarh → 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 second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Nagpur's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 849 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Nagpur'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 1262180, the coordinate pair 21.1463 / 79.0849, country rank 13 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1278718 at 140.548 km bind Nagpur to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Nagpur's reference point is 21.1463° north and 79.0849° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Kolkata is shared by 109 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Nagpur's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Nagpur's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Nagpur's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Nagpur, 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.
