01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Uberlândia—754,954, America/Sao_Paulo, 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 Uberlândia is GeoNames ID 3445831. Its recorded administrative path is Uberlandia → Minas Gerais → Brazil, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Uberlândia 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 2026-07-14; 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, Uberlândia ranks 729 by recorded population. Inside the 48 selected Brazil entries it ranks 25; inside the 198 entries in its broad region it ranks 107. Its 754,954 population value is 1.00 times the 758,563 median for the country cohort and 0.92 times the 816,326 regional median. Uberlândia sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected Brazil entries. Uberlândia'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.

Uberlândia'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 3445831, the coordinate pair 18.9186 / 48.2772, country rank 25 of 48, and neighbor GeoNames 3448639 at 240.773 km bind Uberlândia to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Uberlândia's reference point is 18.9186° south and 48.2772° west. The IANA identifier America/Sao_Paulo is shared by 30 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Uberlândia's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Uberlândia's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Uberlândia's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Uberlândia, 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.
