01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Nellore—547,621, Asia/Kolkata, 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: city in Sri Potti Sri Ramulu Nellore district, Andhra Pradesh, India.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Nellore is GeoNames ID 1261529. Its recorded administrative path is Nellore → Andhra Pradesh → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Nellore 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 2025-01-02; 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, Nellore ranks 1,023 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 92; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 543. Its 547,621 population value is 0.55 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 0.54 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Nellore sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected India entries. Nellore'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.

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 above Nellore's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 887 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Nellore'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 1261529, the coordinate pair 14.4499 / 79.9870, country rank 92 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1264527 at 154.694 km bind Nellore to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Nellore's reference point is 14.4499° north and 79.9870° 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. Nellore's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Nellore's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Nellore's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Nellore, 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.
