01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Neijiang—1,251,095, 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.
Wikidata's localized description: prefecture-level city in Sichuan, China.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Neijiang is GeoNames ID 1799491. Its recorded administrative path is Neijiang Shi → Sichuan → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a third-order administrative seat. Neijiang 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 2021-10-19; 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, Neijiang ranks 412 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 135; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 243. Its 1,251,095 population value is 1.07 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.24 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Neijiang sits in the second quarter of this atlas's China population cohort. Neijiang's recorded value stays within one quarter of the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Neijiang's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Zigong at 38.554 km with 1,262,064 recorded people; Ziyang at 71.883 km with 905,729 recorded people; Luzhou at 84.774 km with 998,900 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 46.22 km. Compared with Zigong, Neijiang's recorded population is 0.99 times as large. Against Neijiang, Zigong follows Zigong Shi → Sichuan → China in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries populated place rather than third-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Neijiang's. Against Neijiang, Ziyang follows Ziyang Shi → Sichuan → China in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than third-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Neijiang's. Against Neijiang, Luzhou follows Luzhou Shi → Sichuan → 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 third-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Neijiang's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 354 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Neijiang's nearest-coordinate gap sits in the second quarter 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 1799491, the coordinate pair 29.5835 / 105.0622, country rank 135 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1783745 at 38.554 km bind Neijiang to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Neijiang's reference point is 29.5835° north and 105.0622° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Shanghai is shared by 291 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA3 is shared by 60 rows. Neijiang's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Neijiang's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Neijiang's place-class field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its time zone is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Neijiang, 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.
