01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Ufa—1,120,547, Asia/Yekaterinburg, 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: capital city of the Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Ufa is GeoNames ID 479561. Its recorded administrative path is Bashkortostan Republic → Russia, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Ufa 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, Ufa ranks 482 by recorded population. Inside the 39 selected Russia entries it ranks 11; inside the 125 entries in its broad region it ranks 33. Its 1,120,547 population value is 1.73 times the 648,213 median for the country cohort and 1.69 times the 664,046 regional median. Ufa sits in the second quarter of this atlas's Russia population cohort. Ufa's recorded value is above the country-cohort median but remains below twice that benchmark. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Ufa's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Naberezhnyye Chelny at 250.596 km with 509,870 recorded people; Izhevsk at 291.435 km with 648,213 recorded people; Orenburg at 335.913 km with 564,773 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 85.317 km. Compared with Naberezhnyye Chelny, Ufa's recorded population is 2.20 times as large. Against Ufa, Naberezhnyye Chelny follows Tukayevskiy Rayon → Tatarstan Republic → Russia in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Russia cohort, uses Europe/Moscow instead of Asia/Yekaterinburg, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Ufa's. Against Ufa, Izhevsk follows Udmurtiya Republic → Russia in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Russia cohort, uses Europe/Samara instead of Asia/Yekaterinburg, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Ufa's. Against Ufa, Orenburg follows Orenburg Oblast → Russia in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Russia cohort, uses the shared Asia/Yekaterinburg identifier, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Ufa's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 1,068 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Ufa'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 479561, the coordinate pair 54.7431 / 55.9678, country rank 11 of 39, and neighbor GeoNames 523750 at 250.596 km bind Ufa to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Ufa's reference point is 54.7431° north and 55.9678° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Yekaterinburg is shared by 6 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Ufa's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label. Ufa's point falls in the higher-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Ufa's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Ufa, 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.
