01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Wuzhong—7,202,654, Asia/Shanghai, 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: prefecture-level city in Ningxia, China.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Wuzhong is GeoNames ID 1790842. Its recorded administrative path is Wuzhong Shi → Ningxia → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Wuzhong 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 2026-03-29; 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, Wuzhong ranks 40 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 14; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 27. Its 7,202,654 population value is 6.18 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 7.14 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Wuzhong falls inside the leading tenth of this atlas's China population cohort. Wuzhong's recorded value reaches at least twice the country-cohort median in this snapshot. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Wuzhong's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Yinchuan at 53.894 km with 1,487,579 recorded people; Zhongwei at 103.369 km with 1,174,600 recorded people; Shizuishan at 111.748 km with 739,400 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 57.854 km. Compared with Yinchuan, Wuzhong's recorded population is 4.84 times as large. Against Wuzhong, Yinchuan follows Yinchuan Shi → Ningxia → China in the source.

Its recorded population is below Wuzhong's. Against Wuzhong, Zhongwei follows Zhongwei Shi → Ningxia → China in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Wuzhong's. Against Wuzhong, Shizuishan follows Shizuishan Shi → Ningxia → China in the source.

Its recorded population is below Wuzhong's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 473 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Wuzhong'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 1790842, the coordinate pair 37.9867 / 106.2010, country rank 14 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1786657 at 53.894 km bind Wuzhong to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Wuzhong's reference point is 37.9867° north and 106.2010° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Shanghai is shared by 291 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Wuzhong's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Wuzhong's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Wuzhong's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Wuzhong, 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.
