That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.

The IANA identifier America/Monterrey is shared by 6 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows.

Victoria de Durango's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly.
