01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Thuận An—588,616, Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh, 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 Thuận An is GeoNames ID 12382296. Its recorded administrative path is Thanh Pho Thuan An → Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) → Vietnam, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Thuận An 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 2025-07-29; 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, Thuận An ranks 952 by recorded population. Inside the 13 selected Vietnam entries it ranks 10; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 514. Its 588,616 population value is 0.46 times the 1,272,235 median for the country cohort and 0.58 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Thuận An sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected Vietnam entries. Thuận An'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.

The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 4.051 km. Compared with Thủ Đức, Thuận An's recorded population is 1.12 times as large. Against Thuận An, Thủ Đức follows Quan Thu GJuc → Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) → Vietnam in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Vietnam cohort, uses the shared Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Thuận An's. Against Thuận An, Biên Hòa follows Thanh Pho Bien Hoa → Dong Nai → Vietnam in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Vietnam cohort, uses the shared Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Thuận An's. Against Thuận An, Ho Chi Minh City follows Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) → Vietnam in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Vietnam cohort, uses the shared Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh identifier, and carries populated place rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Thuận An's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 156 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Thuận An'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 12382296, the coordinate pair 10.9239 / 106.7143, country rank 10 of 13, and neighbor GeoNames 1565019 at 10.483 km bind Thuận An to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Thuận An's reference point is 10.9239° north and 106.7143° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh is shared by 8 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Thuận An's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Thuận An's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Thuận An's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Thuận An, 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.
