01What the data says — and does not say

02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind South Tangerang is GeoNames ID 8581443. Its recorded administrative path is Kota Tangerang Selatan → Banten → Indonesia, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. South Tangerang 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 2026-06-11; 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, South Tangerang ranks 348 by recorded population. Inside the 29 selected Indonesia entries it ranks 11; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 204.

South Tangerang's nearest-coordinate gap falls between the tightest tenth and quarter of the atlas. 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 8581443, the coordinate pair 6.2886 / 106.7179, country rank 11 of 29, and neighbor GeoNames 1625084 at 15.669 km bind South Tangerang to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
South Tangerang's reference point is 6.2886° south and 106.7179° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Jakarta is shared by 23 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. South Tangerang's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. South Tangerang's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. South Tangerang's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for South Tangerang, 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.
