01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Omaha—486,051, America/Chicago, 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: seat of Douglas County, and largest city in State of Nebraska, United States.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Omaha is GeoNames ID 5074472. Its recorded administrative path is Douglas County → Nebraska → United States, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Omaha 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 2025-06-25; 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, Omaha ranks 1,179 by recorded population. Inside the 43 selected United States entries it ranks 42; inside the 198 entries in its broad region it ranks 194. Its 486,051 population value is 0.62 times the 780,995 median for the country cohort and 0.60 times the 816,326 regional median. Omaha sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected United States entries. Omaha'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.
Omaha's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Oklahoma City at 658.142 km with 681,054 recorded people; Milwaukee at 691.038 km with 563,531 recorded people; Chicago at 692.735 km with 2,664,452 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 34.593 km. Compared with Oklahoma City, Omaha's recorded population is 0.71 times as large. Against Omaha, Oklahoma City follows Oklahoma County → Oklahoma → United States in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected United States cohort, uses the shared America/Chicago identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Omaha's. Against Omaha, Milwaukee follows Milwaukee County → Wisconsin → United States in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected United States cohort, uses the shared America/Chicago identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Omaha's. Against Omaha, Chicago follows Cook County → Illinois → United States in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected United States cohort, uses the shared America/Chicago identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Omaha's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 1,194 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Omaha'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 5074472, the coordinate pair 41.2563 / 95.9404, country rank 42 of 43, and neighbor GeoNames 4544349 at 658.142 km bind Omaha to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Omaha's reference point is 41.2563° north and 95.9404° west. The IANA identifier America/Chicago is shared by 11 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Omaha's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Omaha's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Omaha's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames records Omaha at 323 metres above sea level, a single reference value rather than a description of slopes across the city. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
