01What the data says — and does not say

What the data says — and does not say

This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Nanning—3,839,800, Asia/Shanghai, 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.

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Nanning is GeoNames ID 1799869. Its recorded administrative path is Nanning Shi → Guangxi → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Nanning 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 2026-04-13; 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, Nanning ranks 87 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 32; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 57. Its 3,839,800 population value is 3.29 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 3.81 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Nanning falls between the leading tenth and quarter of this atlas's China population cohort. Nanning'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.

Nearest-reference pattern

Nanning's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Qinzhou at 98.908 km with 1,296,300 recorded people; Guigang at 135.015 km with 1,086,327 recorded people; Laibin at 138.802 km with 910,282 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 39.894 km. Compared with Qinzhou, Nanning's recorded population is 2.96 times as large. Against Nanning, Qinzhou follows Qinzhou Shi → Guangxi → China in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Nanning's. Against Nanning, Guigang follows Guigang Shi → Guangxi → China in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Nanning's. Against Nanning, Laibin follows Laibin Shi → Guangxi → China in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Nanning's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 691 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Nanning'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 1799869, the coordinate pair 22.8167 / 108.3167, country rank 32 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1797551 at 98.908 km bind Nanning 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

Nanning's reference point is 22.8167° north and 108.3167° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Shanghai is shared by 291 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Nanning's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Nanning's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Nanning's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Nanning, 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.
