01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Tianjin—11,090,314, Asia/Shanghai, 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 Tianjin is GeoNames ID 1792947. Its recorded administrative path is Tianjin Municipality → Tianjin → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Tianjin 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 2026-04-13; 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, Tianjin ranks 15 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 6; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 10. Its 11,090,314 population value is 9.52 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 11.00 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Tianjin falls inside the leading tenth of this atlas's China population cohort. Tianjin'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.
Tianjin's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Tanggu at 42.767 km with 535,298 recorded people; Langfang at 57.885 km with 868,066 recorded people; Sanhe at 93.668 km with 965,075 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 50.901 km. Compared with Tanggu, Tianjin's recorded population is 20.72 times as large. Against Tianjin, Tanggu follows Tianjin Municipality → Tianjin → China in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries populated place rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Tianjin's. Against Tianjin, Langfang follows Langfang Shi → Hebei → China in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Tianjin's. Against Tianjin, Sanhe follows Langfang Shi → Hebei → China in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries third-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Tianjin's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 377 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Tianjin'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 1792947, the coordinate pair 39.1422 / 117.1767, country rank 6 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1793424 at 42.767 km bind Tianjin to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Tianjin's reference point is 39.1422° north and 117.1767° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Shanghai is shared by 291 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Tianjin's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Tianjin's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Tianjin's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Tianjin, 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.
