Source identity and administrative path
The source row behind Osasco is GeoNames ID 3455775. Its recorded administrative path is Osasco → Sao Paulo → Brazil, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Osasco 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 2026-07-17; 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, Osasco ranks 757 by recorded population. Inside the 48 selected Brazil entries it ranks 26; inside the 198 entries in its broad region it ranks 112. Its 728,615 population value is 0.96 times the 758,563 median for the country cohort and 0.89 times the 816,326 regional median. Osasco sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected Brazil entries. Osasco'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.
Nearest-reference pattern
Osasco's three nearest other atlas coordinates are São Paulo at 15.945 km with 12,400,232 recorded people; Guarulhos at 27.461 km with 1,345,364 recorded people; São Bernardo do Campo at 29.247 km with 840,499 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 13.302 km. Compared with São Paulo, Osasco's recorded population is 0.06 times as large. Against Osasco, São Paulo follows Sao Paulo → Brazil in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Brazil cohort, uses the shared America/Sao_Paulo identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is above Osasco's. Against Osasco, Guarulhos follows Guarulhos → Sao Paulo → Brazil in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Brazil cohort, uses the shared America/Sao_Paulo identifier, and carries the same populated place class. Its recorded population is above Osasco's. Against Osasco, São Bernardo do Campo follows Sao Bernardo Do Campo → Sao Paulo → Brazil in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Brazil cohort, uses the shared America/Sao_Paulo identifier, and carries the same populated place class. Its recorded population is above Osasco's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 219 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Osasco's nearest-coordinate gap falls between the tightest tenth and quarter of the atlas. 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 3455775, the coordinate pair 23.5325 / 46.7917, country rank 26 of 48, and neighbor GeoNames 3448439 at 15.945 km bind Osasco 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
Osasco's reference point is 23.5325° south and 46.7917° west. The IANA identifier America/Sao_Paulo is shared by 30 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Osasco's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Osasco's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Osasco's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Osasco, 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.
