01What the data says — and does not say

02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Santo Domingo Oeste is GeoNames ID 7874116. Its recorded administrative path is Santo Domingo Oeste → Santo Domingo Province → Dominican Republic, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Santo Domingo Oeste 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 2016-06-05; 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, Santo Domingo Oeste ranks 782 by recorded population. Inside the 4 selected Dominican Republic entries it ranks 3; inside the 198 entries in its broad region it ranks 118.
