Nashik

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Nashik is GeoNames ID 1261731. Its recorded administrative path is Nashik Division → Maharashtra → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat.

Nashik 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.

Population position inside fixed cohorts

Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Nashik ranks 321 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 24; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 183.

Its 1,486,053 population value is 1.48 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 1.47 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Nashik falls between the leading tenth and quarter of this atlas's India population cohort.

Nashik'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

Nashik's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Malegaon at 98.942 km with 481,228 recorded people; Kalyan at 108.322 km with 1,262,255 recorded people; Bhiwandi at 109.022 km with 874,032 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 10.08 km. Compared with Malegaon, Nashik's recorded population is 3.09 times as large. Against Nashik, Malegaon follows Nashik 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 populated place rather than second-order administrative seat.

Its recorded population is below Nashik's. Against Nashik, Kalyan follows Thane → 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 populated place rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Nashik's. Against Nashik, Bhiwandi follows Thane → 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 populated place rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Nashik's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 692 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Nashik'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 1261731, the coordinate pair 19.9973 / 73.7910, country rank 24 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1264115 at 98.942 km bind Nashik 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

Nashik's reference point is 19.9973° north and 73.7910° 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. Nashik's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.

Nashik's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Nashik's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Nashik, 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.
