01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Voronezh—1,047,549, Europe/Moscow, 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: capital city of Voronezh Oblast in central Russia.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Voronezh is GeoNames ID 472045. Its recorded administrative path is Voronezh Oblast → Russia, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Voronezh 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 2025-09-09; 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, Voronezh ranks 513 by recorded population. Inside the 39 selected Russia entries it ranks 13; inside the 125 entries in its broad region it ranks 36. Its 1,047,549 population value is 1.62 times the 648,213 median for the country cohort and 1.58 times the 664,046 regional median. Voronezh sits in the second quarter of this atlas's Russia population cohort. Voronezh'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.
Voronezh's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Lipetsk at 105.122 km with 509,735 recorded people; Kharkiv at 278.773 km with 1,421,125 recorded people; Tula at 300.196 km with 482,873 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 195.074 km. Compared with Lipetsk, Voronezh's recorded population is 2.06 times as large. Against Voronezh, Lipetsk follows Lipetsk Oblast → Russia in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Russia cohort, uses the shared Europe/Moscow identifier, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Voronezh's. Against Voronezh, Kharkiv follows Kharkiv Raion → Kharkiv → Ukraine in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the selected Ukraine cohort rather than Russia, uses Europe/Kyiv instead of Europe/Moscow, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is above Voronezh's. Against Voronezh, Tula follows Tula Oblast → Russia in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Russia cohort, uses the shared Europe/Moscow identifier, and carries the same first-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Voronezh's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 714 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Voronezh'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 472045, the coordinate pair 51.6683 / 39.1920, country rank 13 of 39, and neighbor GeoNames 535121 at 105.122 km bind Voronezh to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Voronezh's reference point is 51.6683° north and 39.1920° east. The IANA identifier Europe/Moscow is shared by 15 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Voronezh's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label. Voronezh's point falls in the higher-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Voronezh's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Voronezh, 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.
