Source identity and administrative path
The source row behind Talatona is GeoNames ID 2591976. Its recorded administrative path is Luanda → Angola, and GeoNames classifies the place as a third-order administrative seat. Talatona 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 2026-04-22; 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, Talatona ranks 1,144 by recorded population. Inside the 14 selected Angola entries it ranks 14; inside the 243 entries in its broad region it ranks 233. Its 500,000 population value is 0.76 times the 654,033 median for the country cohort and 0.55 times the 902,588 regional median. Talatona sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected Angola entries. Talatona'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
Talatona's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Camama at 8.973 km with 667,094 recorded people; Maianga at 9.695 km with 727,681 recorded people; Golfe at 10.131 km with 655,796 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 1.158 km. Compared with Camama, Talatona's recorded population is 0.75 times as large. Against Talatona, Camama follows Luanda → Angola in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Angola cohort, uses the shared Africa/Luanda identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than third-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Talatona's. Against Talatona, Maianga follows Luanda → Angola in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Angola cohort, uses the shared Africa/Luanda identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than third-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Talatona's. Against Talatona, Golfe follows Luanda → Angola in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Angola cohort, uses the shared Africa/Luanda identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than third-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Talatona's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 139 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Talatona'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 2591976, the coordinate pair 8.9178 / 13.1856, country rank 14 of 14, and neighbor GeoNames 2591957 at 8.973 km bind Talatona 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
Talatona's reference point is 8.9178° south and 13.1856° east. The IANA identifier Africa/Luanda is shared by 14 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA3 is shared by 60 rows. Talatona's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label. Talatona's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Talatona's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Talatona, 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.
