Source identity and administrative path
The source row behind Najafgarh is GeoNames ID 1262111. Its recorded administrative path is South West Delhi → Delhi → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Najafgarh 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 2024-01-06; 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, Najafgarh ranks 366 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 30; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 216. Its 1,365,000 population value is 1.36 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 1.35 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Najafgarh sits in the second quarter of this atlas's India population cohort. Najafgarh's recorded value is above the country-cohort median but remains below twice that benchmark. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Nearest-reference pattern
Najafgarh's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Gurgaon at 17.193 km with 886,519 recorded people; Delhi at 25.018 km with 11,034,555 recorded people; Narela at 29.229 km with 800,000 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 12.036 km. Compared with Gurgaon, Najafgarh's recorded population is 1.54 times as large. Against Najafgarh, Gurgaon follows Gurugram district → Haryana → India in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is below Najafgarh's. Against Najafgarh, Delhi follows Delhi → 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 first-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is above Najafgarh's. Against Najafgarh, Narela follows North Delhi → Delhi → 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 the same populated place class. Its recorded population is below Najafgarh's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 240 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Najafgarh'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 1262111, the coordinate pair 28.6092 / 76.9798, country rank 30 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1270642 at 17.193 km bind Najafgarh 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
Najafgarh's reference point is 28.6092° north and 76.9798° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Kolkata is shared by 109 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Najafgarh's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Najafgarh's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Najafgarh's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Najafgarh, 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.
