Perm

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Perm is GeoNames ID 511196. Its recorded administrative path is Perm Krai → Russia, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat.

Perm 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 2026-04-14; 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, Perm ranks 563 by recorded population. Inside the 39 selected Russia entries it ranks 15; inside the 125 entries in its broad region it ranks 42.

Its 982,419 population value is 1.52 times the 648,213 median for the country cohort and 1.48 times the 664,046 regional median. Perm sits in the second quarter of this atlas's Russia population cohort.

Perm'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

Perm's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Izhevsk at 223.461 km with 648,213 recorded people; Yekaterinburg at 290.961 km with 1,495,066 recorded people; Naberezhnyye Chelny at 343.521 km with 509,870 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 120.06 km. Compared with Izhevsk, Perm's recorded population is 1.52 times as large. Against Perm, Izhevsk follows Udmurtiya Republic → Russia in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Russia cohort, uses Europe/Samara instead of Asia/Yekaterinburg, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class.

Its recorded population is below Perm's. Against Perm, Yekaterinburg follows Sverdlovsk Oblast → Russia in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Russia cohort, uses the shared Asia/Yekaterinburg identifier, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Perm's. Against Perm, Naberezhnyye Chelny follows Tukayevskiy Rayon → Tatarstan Republic → Russia in the source.

Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Russia cohort, uses Europe/Moscow instead of Asia/Yekaterinburg, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Perm's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 1,035 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Perm'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 511196, the coordinate pair 58.0105 / 56.2502, country rank 15 of 39, and neighbor GeoNames 554840 at 223.461 km bind Perm 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

Perm's reference point is 58.0105° north and 56.2502° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Yekaterinburg is shared by 6 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Perm's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label.

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