01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Takeo—843,931, Asia/Phnom_Penh, 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 Takeo is GeoNames ID 1821940. Its recorded administrative path is Krong Doun Kaev → Takeo → Cambodia, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Takeo 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 2026-04-14; 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, Takeo ranks 663 by recorded population. Inside the 2 selected Cambodia entries it ranks 2; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 384. Its 843,931 population value is 0.70 times the 1,208,738 median for the country cohort and 0.84 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Takeo is rank 2 among the 2 selected Cambodia entries, so a percentage band would overstate this small cohort. Takeo'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.
Takeo's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Phnom Penh at 65.15 km with 1,573,544 recorded people; Cần Thơ at 152.566 km with 1,507,187 recorded people; Ho Chi Minh City at 202.275 km with 14,002,598 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 137.125 km. Compared with Phnom Penh, Takeo's recorded population is 0.54 times as large. Against Takeo, Phnom Penh follows Phnom Penh → Cambodia in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Cambodia cohort, uses the shared Asia/Phnom_Penh identifier, and carries capital of a political entity rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Takeo's. Against Takeo, Cần Thơ follows Quan Ninh Kieu → Can Tho City → Vietnam in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the selected Vietnam cohort rather than Cambodia, uses Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh instead of Asia/Phnom_Penh, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Takeo's. Against Takeo, Ho Chi Minh City follows Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) → Vietnam in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the selected Vietnam cohort rather than Cambodia, uses Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh instead of Asia/Phnom_Penh, and carries populated place rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Takeo's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 528 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Takeo's nearest-coordinate gap sits in the second quarter 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 1821940, the coordinate pair 10.9908 / 104.7850, country rank 2 of 2, and neighbor GeoNames 1821306 at 65.15 km bind Takeo to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Takeo's reference point is 10.9908° north and 104.7850° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Phnom_Penh is shared by 2 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Takeo's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Takeo's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Takeo's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Takeo, 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.
