01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Torreón—735,340, America/Monterrey, 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: municipal seat of Torreón, State of Coahuila, Mexico.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Torreón is GeoNames ID 3981254. Its recorded administrative path is Torreon → Coahuila → Mexico, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Torreón 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 2023-02-01; 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, Torreón ranks 750 by recorded population. Inside the 39 selected Mexico entries it ranks 22; inside the 198 entries in its broad region it ranks 110. Its 735,340 population value is 0.91 times the 808,416 median for the country cohort and 0.90 times the 816,326 regional median. Torreón sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected Mexico entries. Torreón's recorded value stays within one quarter of the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Torreón's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Victoria de Durango at 210.557 km with 518,709 recorded people; Saltillo at 245.198 km with 709,671 recorded people; Monterrey at 311.391 km with 1,135,512 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 100.834 km. Compared with Victoria de Durango, Torreón's recorded population is 1.42 times as large. Against Torreón, Victoria de Durango follows Durango → Mexico in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Mexico cohort, uses the shared America/Monterrey identifier, and carries populated place rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Torreón's. Against Torreón, Saltillo follows Saltillo → Coahuila → Mexico in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Mexico cohort, uses the shared America/Monterrey identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Torreón's. Against Torreón, Monterrey follows Monterrey → Nuevo Leon → Mexico in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Mexico cohort, uses the shared America/Monterrey identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Torreón's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 1,021 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Torreón'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 3981254, the coordinate pair 25.5439 / 103.4190, country rank 22 of 39, and neighbor GeoNames 4011743 at 210.557 km bind Torreón to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Torreón's reference point is 25.5439° north and 103.4190° west. The IANA identifier America/Monterrey is shared by 6 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Torreón's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Torreón's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Torreón's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Torreón, 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.
