01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Tolyatti—702,879, Europe/Samara, 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: city in Samara Oblast, Russia.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Tolyatti is GeoNames ID 482283. Its recorded administrative path is Samara Oblast → Russia, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Tolyatti 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 2022-09-17; 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, Tolyatti ranks 781 by recorded population. Inside the 39 selected Russia entries it ranks 19; inside the 125 entries in its broad region it ranks 58.

Tolyatti sits in the second quarter of this atlas's Russia population cohort. Tolyatti's recorded value stays within one quarter of the country-cohort median used here.

Tolyatti'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 482283, the coordinate pair 53.5303 / 49.3461, country rank 19 of 39, and neighbor GeoNames 499099 at 63.483 km bind Tolyatti to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Tolyatti's reference point is 53.5303° north and 49.3461° east. The IANA identifier Europe/Samara is shared by 3 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Tolyatti's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label. Tolyatti's point falls in the higher-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Tolyatti's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames records Tolyatti at 42 metres above sea level, a single reference value rather than a description of slopes across the city. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
