01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Sultanah—946,697, Asia/Riyadh, and source coordinates—from live travel claims. Those fields identify and compare the record; they do not prove current transport, accessibility, census totals, or a City Atlas Club visit.

02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Sultanah is GeoNames ID 101760. Its recorded administrative path is Medina Region → Saudi Arabia, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Sulţānah 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 2012-01-16; 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, Sultanah ranks 586 by recorded population. Inside the 11 selected Saudi Arabia entries it ranks 6; inside the 243 entries in its broad region it ranks 117. Its 946,697 population value is 1.00 times the 946,697 median for the country cohort and 1.05 times the 902,588 regional median. Sultanah sits in the second quarter of this atlas's Saudi Arabia population cohort. Sultanah'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.
Sultanah's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Madinah at 3.923 km with 1,300,000 recorded people; Jeddah at 336.352 km with 4,697,000 recorded people; Makkah at 341.8 km with 1,578,722 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 337.877 km. Compared with Madinah, Sultanah's recorded population is 0.73 times as large. Against Sultanah, Madinah follows Medina Region → Saudi Arabia in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Saudi Arabia cohort, uses the shared Asia/Riyadh identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is above Sultanah's. Against Sultanah, Jeddah follows Mecca Region → Saudi Arabia in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Saudi Arabia cohort, uses the shared Asia/Riyadh identifier, and carries the same populated place class. Its recorded population is above Sultanah's. Against Sultanah, Makkah follows Mecca Region → Saudi Arabia in the source.

Its recorded population is above Sultanah's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 31 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Sultanah's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the tightest tenth 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 101760, the coordinate pair 24.4926 / 39.5857, country rank 6 of 11, and neighbor GeoNames 109223 at 3.923 km bind Sultanah to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Sultanah's reference point is 24.4926° north and 39.5857° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Riyadh is shared by 11 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Sultanah's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label. Sultanah's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Sultanah's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Sultanah, 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.
