01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Villa Nueva—618,397, America/Guatemala, 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 Villa Nueva is GeoNames ID 3587902. Its recorded administrative path is Municipio de Villa Nueva → Guatemala, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Villa Nueva 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 2023-02-09; 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, Villa Nueva ranks 902 by recorded population. Inside the 2 selected Guatemala entries it ranks 2; inside the 198 entries in its broad region it ranks 146. Its 618,397 population value is 0.77 times the 806,668 median for the country cohort and 0.76 times the 816,326 regional median. Villa Nueva is rank 2 among the 2 selected Guatemala entries, so a percentage band would overstate this small cohort. Villa Nueva'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.

Villa Nueva'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 3587902, the coordinate pair 14.5251 / 90.5854, country rank 2 of 2, and neighbor GeoNames 3598132 at 15.018 km bind Villa Nueva to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Villa Nueva's reference point is 14.5251° north and 90.5854° west. The IANA identifier America/Guatemala is shared by 2 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Villa Nueva's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Villa Nueva's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Villa Nueva's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Villa Nueva, 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.
