San Luis Potosí's reference point is 22.1523° north and 100.9714° west. The IANA identifier America/Monterrey is shared by 6 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. San Luis Potosí's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.

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