Source identity and administrative path
The source row behind Sevastopol is GeoNames ID 694423. Its recorded administrative path is Sevastopol City → Ukraine, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Sevastopol 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 2026-04-08; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.
Population position inside fixed cohorts
Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Sevastopol ranks 1,022 by recorded population. Inside the 9 selected Ukraine entries it ranks 9; inside the 125 entries in its broad region it ranks 94. Its 547,820 population value is 0.61 times the 901,645 median for the country cohort and 0.82 times the 664,046 regional median. Sevastopol is rank 9 among the 9 selected Ukraine entries, so a percentage band would overstate this small cohort. Sevastopol's recorded value is materially below the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Nearest-reference pattern
Sevastopol's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Odesa at 300.595 km with 1,010,537 recorded people; Kryvyy Rih at 366.826 km with 603,904 recorded people; Zaporizhzhya at 380.977 km with 710,052 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 80.382 km. Compared with Odesa, Sevastopol's recorded population is 0.54 times as large. Against Sevastopol, Odesa follows Odeskyi Raion → Odesa → Ukraine in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Ukraine cohort, uses Europe/Kyiv instead of Europe/Simferopol, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Sevastopol's. Against Sevastopol, Kryvyy Rih follows Kryvyy Rih Raion → Dnipropetrovsk → Ukraine in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Ukraine cohort, uses Europe/Kyiv instead of Europe/Simferopol, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Sevastopol's. Against Sevastopol, Zaporizhzhya follows Zaporizhzhya Raion → Zaporizhzhia → Ukraine in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Ukraine cohort, uses Europe/Kyiv instead of Europe/Simferopol, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Sevastopol's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 1,113 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Sevastopol's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the wider half of atlas distances. This pattern can reveal whether other catalog references are geographically close, but it cannot establish whether a border crossing is possible or practical, or whether rail, road, fare, or journey-time connections exist. Read as one record signature, GeoNames 694423, the coordinate pair 44.6080 / 33.5213, country rank 9 of 9, and neighbor GeoNames 698740 at 300.595 km bind Sevastopol to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Coordinate, time-zone and class cohorts
Sevastopol's reference point is 44.6080° north and 33.5213° east. The IANA identifier Europe/Simferopol is shared by 1 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Sevastopol's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label. Sevastopol's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Sevastopol's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames records Sevastopol at 50 metres above sea level, a single reference value rather than a description of slopes across the city. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
