01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Rosario—948,312, America/Argentina/Cordoba, 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 Argentina.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Rosario is GeoNames ID 3838583. Its recorded administrative path is Rosario Department → Santa Fe → Argentina, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Rosario 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 2026-04-16; 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, Rosario ranks 585 by recorded population. Inside the 6 selected Argentina entries it ranks 3; inside the 198 entries in its broad region it ranks 80. Its 948,312 population value is 1.23 times the 770,825 median for the country cohort and 1.16 times the 816,326 regional median. Rosario is rank 3 among the 6 selected Argentina entries, so a percentage band would overstate this small cohort. Rosario'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.
Rosario's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Buenos Aires at 279.343 km with 2,891,082 recorded people; Córdoba at 375.358 km with 2,106,734 recorded people; Montevideo at 464.682 km with 1,270,737 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 185.339 km. Compared with Buenos Aires, Rosario's recorded population is 0.33 times as large. Against Rosario, Buenos Aires follows Buenos Aires F.D. → Argentina in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Argentina cohort, uses America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires instead of America/Argentina/Cordoba, and carries capital of a political entity rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Rosario's. Against Rosario, Córdoba follows Departamento de Capital → Cordoba → Argentina in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Argentina cohort, uses the shared America/Argentina/Cordoba identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Rosario's. Against Rosario, Montevideo follows Municipio B → Montevideo Department → Uruguay in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the selected Uruguay cohort rather than Argentina, uses America/Montevideo instead of America/Argentina/Cordoba, and carries capital of a political entity rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Rosario's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 1,098 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Rosario'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 3838583, the coordinate pair 32.9468 / 60.6393, country rank 3 of 6, and neighbor GeoNames 3435910 at 279.343 km bind Rosario to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Rosario's reference point is 32.9468° south and 60.6393° west. The IANA identifier America/Argentina/Cordoba is shared by 2 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Rosario's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Rosario's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Rosario's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Rosario, 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.
