01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Tlalpan—574,577, America/Mexico_City, 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 Tlalpan is GeoNames ID 3515428. Its recorded administrative path is Tlalpan → Mexico City → Mexico, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Tlalpan 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 2018-11-03; 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, Tlalpan ranks 970 by recorded population. Inside the 39 selected Mexico entries it ranks 33; inside the 198 entries in its broad region it ranks 157. Its 574,577 population value is 0.71 times the 808,416 median for the country cohort and 0.70 times the 816,326 regional median. Tlalpan sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected Mexico entries. Tlalpan'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.
Tlalpan's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Coyoacán at 5.734 km with 614,447 recorded people; Iztapalapa at 12.428 km with 1,835,486 recorded people; Mexico City at 15.26 km with 12,294,193 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 9.526 km. Compared with Coyoacán, Tlalpan's recorded population is 0.94 times as large. Against Tlalpan, Coyoacán follows Coyoacan → Mexico City → Mexico in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Mexico cohort, uses the shared America/Mexico_City identifier, and carries the same populated place class. Its recorded population is above Tlalpan's. Against Tlalpan, Iztapalapa follows Iztapalapa → Mexico City → Mexico in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Mexico cohort, uses the shared America/Mexico_City identifier, and carries the same populated place class. Its recorded population is above Tlalpan's. Against Tlalpan, Mexico City follows Mexico City → Mexico in the source.

Its recorded population is above Tlalpan's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 69 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Tlalpan's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the tightest tenth 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 3515428, the coordinate pair 19.2951 / 99.1621, country rank 33 of 39, and neighbor GeoNames 3530139 at 5.734 km bind Tlalpan to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Tlalpan's reference point is 19.2951° north and 99.1621° west. The IANA identifier America/Mexico_City is shared by 22 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Tlalpan's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Tlalpan's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Tlalpan's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Tlalpan, 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.
