01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Yangpu—1,210,800, 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.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Yangpu is GeoNames ID 1787375. Its recorded administrative path is Shanghai Municipality → Shanghai → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a third-order administrative seat. Yangpu 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 2026-03-31; 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, Yangpu ranks 435 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 144; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 257. Its 1,210,800 population value is 1.04 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.20 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Yangpu sits in the second quarter of this atlas's China population cohort. Yangpu'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.
Yangpu's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Pudong at 2.989 km with 5,681,512 recorded people; Hongkou at 3.134 km with 687,500 recorded people; Huangpu at 4.727 km with 504,700 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 1.738 km. Compared with Pudong, Yangpu's recorded population is 0.21 times as large. Against Yangpu, Pudong follows Shanghai Municipality → Shanghai → 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 fourth-order administrative seat rather than third-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Yangpu's. Against Yangpu, Hongkou follows Shanghai Municipality → Shanghai → 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 third-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Yangpu's. Against Yangpu, Huangpu follows Shanghai Municipality → Shanghai → 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 populated place rather than third-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Yangpu's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 19 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Yangpu's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the tightest tenth 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 1787375, the coordinate pair 31.2619 / 121.5190, country rank 144 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1798524 at 2.989 km bind Yangpu to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Yangpu's reference point is 31.2619° north and 121.5190° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Shanghai is shared by 291 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA3 is shared by 60 rows. Yangpu's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Yangpu's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Yangpu's place-class field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its time zone is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Yangpu, 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.
