01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for San Miguel de Tucumán—548,866, America/Argentina/Tucuman, 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: capital of the Tucumán Province, located in northern Argentina.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind San Miguel de Tucumán is GeoNames ID 3836873. Its recorded administrative path is Departamento de Capital → Tucuman → Argentina, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. San Miguel de Tucumán 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 2026-04-13; 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, San Miguel de Tucumán ranks 1,020 by recorded population. Inside the 6 selected Argentina entries it ranks 5; inside the 198 entries in its broad region it ranks 166.

San Miguel de Tucumán is rank 5 among the 6 selected Argentina entries, so a percentage band would overstate this small cohort.

That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
