01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Rajkot—1,390,640, 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 Gujarat, India.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Rajkot is GeoNames ID 1258847. Its recorded administrative path is Rajkot → Gujarat → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Rājkot 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 2025-02-26; 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, Rajkot ranks 359 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 29; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 212. Its 1,390,640 population value is 1.39 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 1.38 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Rajkot sits in the second quarter of this atlas's India population cohort. Rajkot'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.
Rajkot's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Jamnagar at 77.369 km with 600,943 recorded people; Bhavnagar at 152.024 km with 605,882 recorded people; Ahmedabad at 201.379 km with 6,357,693 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 124.01 km. Compared with Jamnagar, Rajkot's recorded population is 2.31 times as large. Against Rajkot, Jamnagar follows Jamnagar → Gujarat → India in the source.

Rajkot'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 1258847, the coordinate pair 22.2916 / 70.7932, country rank 29 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1269317 at 77.369 km bind Rajkot to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Rajkot's reference point is 22.2916° north and 70.7932° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Kolkata is shared by 109 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Rajkot's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Rajkot's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Rajkot's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Rajkot, 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.
