Source identity and administrative path
The source row behind Yingkou is GeoNames ID 2033370. Its recorded administrative path is Yingkou → Liaoning → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Yingkou 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 2025-08-20; 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, Yingkou ranks 949 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 260; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 512. Its 591,159 population value is 0.51 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 0.59 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Yingkou sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected China entries. Yingkou's recorded value is materially below 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
Yingkou's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Panjin at 52.442 km with 1,166,481 recorded people; Panshan at 60.175 km with 625,040 recorded people; Anshan at 81.643 km with 1,450,000 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 29.201 km. Compared with Panjin, Yingkou's recorded population is 0.51 times as large. Against Yingkou, Panjin follows Panjin Shi → Liaoning → China in the source. Its point has higher 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 above Yingkou's. Against Yingkou, Panshan follows Panjin Shi → Liaoning → China in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries populated place rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Yingkou's. Against Yingkou, Anshan follows Anshan Shi → Liaoning → China in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries populated place rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Yingkou's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 455 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Yingkou'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 2033370, the coordinate pair 40.6647 / 122.2318, country rank 260 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 10794003 at 52.442 km bind Yingkou 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
Yingkou's reference point is 40.6647° north and 122.2318° 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. Yingkou's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Yingkou's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Yingkou's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Yingkou, 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.
