01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Vijayawada—1,143,232, Asia/Kolkata, 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: city in NTR district, Andhra Pradesh.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Vijayawada is GeoNames ID 1253184. Its recorded administrative path is NTR → Andhra Pradesh → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Vijayawada 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 2025-02-26; 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, Vijayawada ranks 473 by recorded population. Inside the 109 selected India entries it ranks 45; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 276. Its 1,143,232 population value is 1.14 times the 1,001,694 median for the country cohort and 1.13 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Vijayawada sits in the second quarter of this atlas's India population cohort. Vijayawada's recorded value stays within one quarter of the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.

Against Vijayawada, Guntur follows Guntur → Andhra Pradesh → India in the source.

Its recorded population is below Vijayawada's. Against Vijayawada, Warangal follows Hanamkonda → Telangana → India in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected India cohort, uses the shared Asia/Kolkata identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than populated place. Its recorded population is below Vijayawada's. Against Vijayawada, Nellore follows Nellore → Andhra Pradesh → India in the source.

Its recorded population is below Vijayawada's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 320 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Vijayawada's nearest-coordinate gap sits in the second quarter 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 1253184, the coordinate pair 16.5075 / 80.6466, country rank 45 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1270668 at 30.679 km bind Vijayawada to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Vijayawada's reference point is 16.5075° north and 80.6466° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Kolkata is shared by 109 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Vijayawada's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Vijayawada's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Vijayawada's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Vijayawada, 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.
