Source identity and administrative path
The source row behind Nanded is GeoNames ID 1261977. Its recorded administrative path is Nanded → Maharashtra → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Nanded 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, Nanded ranks 1,010 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 89; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 536. Its 550,564 population value is 0.55 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 0.55 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Nanded sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected India entries. Nanded'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.
Nearest-reference pattern
Nanded's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Amravati at 202.328 km with 647,057 recorded people; Kalaburagi at 209.034 km with 543,147 recorded people; Aurangabad at 221.6 km with 1,175,116 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 19.272 km. Compared with Amravati, Nanded's recorded population is 0.85 times as large. Against Nanded, Amravati follows Amravati Division → 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 second-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is above Nanded's. Against Nanded, Kalaburagi follows Gulbarga → Karnataka → 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 populated place class. Its recorded population is below Nanded's. Against Nanded, Aurangabad follows Aurangabad → 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 second-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is above Nanded's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 1,002 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Nanded'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 1261977, the coordinate pair 19.1602 / 77.3150, country rank 89 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1278718 at 202.328 km bind Nanded 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
Nanded's reference point is 19.1602° north and 77.3150° 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. Nanded's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Nanded's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Nanded's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Nanded, 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.
