01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Santiago de los Caballeros—1,200,000, America/Santo_Domingo, 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.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Santiago de los Caballeros is GeoNames ID 3492914. Its recorded administrative path is Santiago de los Caballeros → Santiago Province → Dominican Republic, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Santiago de los Caballeros 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, Santiago de los Caballeros ranks 443 by recorded population. Inside the 4 selected Dominican Republic entries it ranks 2; inside the 198 entries in its broad region it ranks 62.
