01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Victoria—956,800, Asia/Hong_Kong, 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 Victoria is GeoNames ID 1931681. Its recorded administrative path is Central and Western → Hong Kong, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Victoria 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 2023-12-12; 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, Victoria ranks 582 by recorded population. Inside the 4 selected Hong Kong entries it ranks 2; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 339. Its 956,800 population value is 1.31 times the 732,350 median for the country cohort and 0.95 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Victoria is rank 2 among the 4 selected Hong Kong entries, so a percentage band would overstate this small cohort. Victoria'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.
Victoria's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Hong Kong at 3.302 km with 7,396,076 recorded people; Sha Tin at 11.392 km with 495,200 recorded people; Tuen Mun at 21.201 km with 507,900 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 17.899 km. Compared with Hong Kong, Victoria's recorded population is 0.13 times as large. Against Victoria, Hong Kong follows Hong Kong in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Hong Kong cohort, uses the shared Asia/Hong_Kong identifier, and carries capital of a political entity rather than populated place. Its recorded population is above Victoria's. Against Victoria, Sha Tin follows Sha Tin → Hong Kong in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Hong Kong cohort, uses the shared Asia/Hong_Kong identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is below Victoria's. Against Victoria, Tuen Mun follows Tuen Mun → Hong Kong in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Hong Kong cohort, uses the shared Asia/Hong_Kong identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is below Victoria's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 23 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Victoria'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 1931681, the coordinate pair 22.2875 / 114.1442, country rank 2 of 4, and neighbor GeoNames 1819729 at 3.302 km bind Victoria to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Victoria's reference point is 22.2875° north and 114.1442° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Hong_Kong is shared by 4 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Victoria's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label. Victoria's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Victoria's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Victoria, 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.
