01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Vladivostok—604,901, Asia/Vladivostok, 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 Vladivostok is GeoNames ID 2013348. Its recorded administrative path is Primorye → Russia, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Vladivostok 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 2026-07-03; 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, Vladivostok ranks 923 by recorded population. Inside the 39 selected Russia entries it ranks 26; inside the 125 entries in its broad region it ranks 80. Its 604,901 population value is 0.93 times the 648,213 median for the country cohort and 0.91 times the 664,046 regional median. Vladivostok sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected Russia entries. Vladivostok'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.
Vladivostok's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Mudanjiang at 241.299 km with 665,915 recorded people; Shuangyashan at 401.363 km with 600,000 recorded people; Jiamusi at 428.467 km with 549,549 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 187.168 km. Compared with Mudanjiang, Vladivostok's recorded population is 0.91 times as large. Against Vladivostok, Mudanjiang follows Mudanjiang Shi → Heilongjiang → China in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the selected China cohort rather than Russia, uses Asia/Shanghai instead of Asia/Vladivostok, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Vladivostok's. Against Vladivostok, Shuangyashan follows Shuangyashan Shi → Heilongjiang → China in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the selected China cohort rather than Russia, uses Asia/Shanghai instead of Asia/Vladivostok, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Vladivostok's. Against Vladivostok, Jiamusi follows Jiamusi Shi → Heilongjiang → China in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the selected China cohort rather than Russia, uses Asia/Shanghai instead of Asia/Vladivostok, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Vladivostok's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 1,055 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Vladivostok's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the wider half 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 2013348, the coordinate pair 43.1056 / 131.8735, country rank 26 of 39, and neighbor GeoNames 2035715 at 241.299 km bind Vladivostok to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Vladivostok's reference point is 43.1056° north and 131.8735° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Vladivostok is shared by 2 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Vladivostok's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label. Vladivostok's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Vladivostok's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Vladivostok, 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.
