02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind São Bernardo do Campo is GeoNames ID 3449344. Its recorded administrative path is Sao Bernardo Do Campo → Sao Paulo → Brazil, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. São Bernardo do Campo 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 2026-07-15; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.

Read as one record signature, GeoNames 3449344, the coordinate pair 23.6939 / 46.5650, country rank 22 of 48, and neighbor GeoNames 3449701 at 4.302 km bind São Bernardo do Campo to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.

The IANA identifier America/Sao_Paulo is shared by 30 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. São Bernardo do Campo's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. São Bernardo do Campo's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. São Bernardo do Campo's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for São Bernardo do Campo, 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.
