01What the data says — and does not say

02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Uijeongbu-si is GeoNames ID 1833788. Its recorded administrative path is Uijeongbu-si → Gyeonggi-do → South Korea, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Uijeongbu-si 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 2023-06-30; 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, Uijeongbu-si ranks 1,199 by recorded population. Inside the 22 selected South Korea entries it ranks 22; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 631. Its 479,141 population value is 0.54 times the 883,490 median for the country cohort and 0.48 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Uijeongbu-si sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected South Korea entries. Uijeongbu-si'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.

Uijeongbu-si's nearest-coordinate gap falls between the tightest tenth and quarter 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 1833788, the coordinate pair 37.7415 / 127.0474, country rank 22 of 22, and neighbor GeoNames 1835848 at 20.438 km bind Uijeongbu-si to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Uijeongbu-si's reference point is 37.7415° north and 127.0474° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Seoul is shared by 22 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Uijeongbu-si's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Uijeongbu-si's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Uijeongbu-si's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Uijeongbu-si, 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.
