Sukkur

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Sukkur is GeoNames ID 1164408. Its recorded administrative path is Sukkur District → Sindh → Pakistan, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat.

Sukkur 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 2025-02-04; 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, Sukkur ranks 990 by recorded population. Inside the 31 selected Pakistan entries it ranks 23; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 528.

Its 563,851 population value is 0.78 times the 725,000 median for the country cohort and 0.56 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Sukkur sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected Pakistan entries.

Sukkur's recorded value stays within one quarter of 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

Sukkur's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Rahim Yar Khan at 162.606 km with 517,000 recorded people; Hyderabad (Pakistan) at 260.89 km with 1,921,275 recorded people; Jalalpur Pirwala at 305.54 km with 500,000 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 142.934 km. Compared with Rahim Yar Khan, Sukkur's recorded population is 1.09 times as large. Against Sukkur, Rahim Yar Khan follows Rahimyar Khan → Punjab → Pakistan in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Pakistan cohort, uses the shared Asia/Karachi identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class.

Its recorded population is below Sukkur's. Against Sukkur, Hyderabad (Pakistan) follows Hyderabad District → Sindh → Pakistan in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Pakistan cohort, uses the shared Asia/Karachi identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Sukkur's. Against Sukkur, Jalalpur Pirwala follows Multan District → Punjab → Pakistan in the source.

Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Pakistan cohort, uses the shared Asia/Karachi identifier, and carries populated place rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Sukkur's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 902 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Sukkur'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 1164408, the coordinate pair 27.7032 / 68.8589, country rank 23 of 31, and neighbor GeoNames 1167460 at 162.606 km bind Sukkur 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

Sukkur's reference point is 27.7032° north and 68.8589° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Karachi is shared by 31 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Sukkur's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels.

Sukkur's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Sukkur's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Sukkur, 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.
