Winnipeg

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Winnipeg is GeoNames ID 6183235. Its recorded administrative path is Manitoba → Canada, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat.

Winnipeg 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 2026-04-13; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.

Population position inside fixed cohorts

Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Winnipeg ranks 733 by recorded population. Inside the 12 selected Canada entries it ranks 6; inside the 198 entries in its broad region it ranks 108.

Its 749,607 population value is 1.02 times the 733,784 median for the country cohort and 0.92 times the 816,326 regional median. Winnipeg sits in the second quarter of this atlas's Canada population cohort.

Winnipeg'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.

Nearest-reference pattern

Winnipeg's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Omaha at 963.956 km with 486,051 recorded people; Milwaukee at 1,037.89 km with 563,531 recorded people; Chicago at 1,155.2 km with 2,664,452 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 191.244 km. Compared with Omaha, Winnipeg's recorded population is 1.54 times as large. Against Winnipeg, Omaha follows Douglas County → Nebraska → United States in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the selected United States cohort rather than Canada, uses America/Chicago instead of America/Winnipeg, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat.

Its recorded population is below Winnipeg's. Against Winnipeg, Milwaukee follows Milwaukee County → Wisconsin → United States in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the selected United States cohort rather than Canada, uses America/Chicago instead of America/Winnipeg, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Winnipeg's. Against Winnipeg, Chicago follows Cook County → Illinois → United States in the source.

Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the selected United States cohort rather than Canada, uses America/Chicago instead of America/Winnipeg, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Winnipeg's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 1,202 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Winnipeg'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 6183235, the coordinate pair 49.8844 / 97.1470, country rank 6 of 12, and neighbor GeoNames 5074472 at 963.956 km bind Winnipeg to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.

Coordinate, time-zone and class cohorts

Winnipeg's reference point is 49.8844° north and 97.1470° west. The IANA identifier America/Winnipeg is shared by 1 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Winnipeg's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label.

Winnipeg's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Winnipeg's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Winnipeg, 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.
