01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Üsküdar—524,452, Europe/Istanbul, 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: district of İstanbul, northwestern Turkey.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Üsküdar is GeoNames ID 738329. Its recorded administrative path is UEskuedar → Istanbul → Türkiye, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Üsküdar 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 2024-08-02; 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, Üsküdar ranks 1,080 by recorded population. Inside the 26 selected Türkiye entries it ranks 23; inside the 243 entries in its broad region it ranks 226. Its 524,452 population value is 0.66 times the 792,110 median for the country cohort and 0.58 times the 902,588 regional median. Üsküdar sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected Türkiye entries. Üsküdar'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.

Üsküdar'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 738329, the coordinate pair 41.0227 / 29.0137, country rank 23 of 26, and neighbor GeoNames 745044 at 5.46 km bind Üsküdar to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Üsküdar's reference point is 41.0227° north and 29.0137° east. The IANA identifier Europe/Istanbul is shared by 26 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Üsküdar's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Üsküdar's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Üsküdar's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Üsküdar, 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.
