01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Yerevan—1,144,700, Asia/Yerevan, 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 Yerevan is GeoNames ID 616052. Its recorded administrative path is Yerevan → Armenia, and GeoNames classifies the place as a capital of a political entity. Yerevan 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 2026-04-04; 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, Yerevan ranks 472 by recorded population. Inside the 1 selected Armenia entries it ranks 1; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 275. Its 1,144,700 population value is 1.00 times the 1,144,700 median for the country cohort and 1.14 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Yerevan is rank 1 among the 1 selected Armenia entries, so a percentage band would overstate this small cohort. Yerevan'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.
Yerevan's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Tbilisi at 170.477 km with 1,049,498 recorded people; Van at 210.848 km with 525,016 recorded people; Erzurum at 277.044 km with 767,848 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 106.567 km. Compared with Tbilisi, Yerevan's recorded population is 1.09 times as large. Against Yerevan, Tbilisi follows Tbilisi → Georgia in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the selected Georgia cohort rather than Armenia, uses Asia/Tbilisi instead of Asia/Yerevan, and carries the same capital of a political entity class. Its recorded population is below Yerevan's. Against Yerevan, Van follows Van → Türkiye in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the selected Türkiye cohort rather than Armenia, uses Europe/Istanbul instead of Asia/Yerevan, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than capital of a political entity. Its recorded population is below Yerevan's. Against Yerevan, Erzurum follows Erzurum → Türkiye in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the selected Türkiye cohort rather than Armenia, uses Europe/Istanbul instead of Asia/Yerevan, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than capital of a political entity. Its recorded population is below Yerevan's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 933 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Yerevan'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 616052, the coordinate pair 40.1777 / 44.5126, country rank 1 of 1, and neighbor GeoNames 611717 at 170.477 km bind Yerevan to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Yerevan's reference point is 40.1777° north and 44.5126° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Yerevan is shared by 1 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLC is shared by 129 rows. Yerevan's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label. Yerevan's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Yerevan's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Yerevan, 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.
