01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Tashkent—1,978,028, Asia/Tashkent, 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.
Wikidata's localized description: capital of Uzbekistan.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Tashkent is GeoNames ID 1512569. Its recorded administrative path is Tashkent → Uzbekistan, and GeoNames classifies the place as a capital of a political entity. Tashkent 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 2024-06-22; 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, Tashkent ranks 203 by recorded population. Inside the 4 selected Uzbekistan entries it ranks 1; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 122. Its 1,978,028 population value is 2.71 times the 730,510 median for the country cohort and 1.96 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Tashkent is rank 1 among the 4 selected Uzbekistan entries, so a percentage band would overstate this small cohort. Tashkent's recorded value reaches at least twice the country-cohort median in this snapshot. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Tashkent's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Shymkent at 120.509 km with 1,200,000 recorded people; Namangan at 207.834 km with 713,220 recorded people; Samarkand at 261.417 km with 595,200 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 140.908 km. Compared with Shymkent, Tashkent's recorded population is 1.65 times as large. Against Tashkent, Shymkent follows Shymkent → Kazakhstan in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the selected Kazakhstan cohort rather than Uzbekistan, uses Asia/Almaty instead of Asia/Tashkent, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than capital of a political entity. Its recorded population is below Tashkent's. Against Tashkent, Namangan follows Namangan → Uzbekistan in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Uzbekistan cohort, uses the shared Asia/Tashkent identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than capital of a political entity. Its recorded population is below Tashkent's. Against Tashkent, Samarkand follows Samarqand Region → Uzbekistan in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Uzbekistan cohort, uses Asia/Samarkand instead of Asia/Tashkent, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than capital of a political entity. Its recorded population is below Tashkent's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 775 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Tashkent'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 1512569, the coordinate pair 41.2647 / 69.2163, country rank 1 of 4, and neighbor GeoNames 1518980 at 120.509 km bind Tashkent to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Tashkent's reference point is 41.2647° north and 69.2163° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Tashkent is shared by 3 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLC is shared by 129 rows. Tashkent's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label. Tashkent's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Tashkent's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Tashkent, 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.
