01What the data says — and does not say

What the data says — and does not say

This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Yokohama—3,777,491, Asia/Tokyo, 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.

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Yokohama is GeoNames ID 1848354. Its recorded administrative path is Yokohama Shi → Kanagawa → Japan, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat. Yokohama 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 2025-02-27; 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, Yokohama ranks 92 by recorded population. Inside the 34 selected Japan entries it ranks 2; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 60. Its 3,777,491 population value is 4.91 times the 769,894 median for the country cohort and 3.75 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Yokohama falls inside the leading tenth of this atlas's Japan population cohort. Yokohama'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.

Nearest-reference pattern

Yokohama's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Kawasaki at 11.451 km with 1,538,262 recorded people; Ōta at 15.431 km with 748,081 recorded people; Tokyo at 28.734 km with 9,733,276 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 17.283 km. Compared with Kawasaki, Yokohama's recorded population is 2.46 times as large. Against Yokohama, Kawasaki follows Kawasaki-shi → Kanagawa → Japan in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Japan cohort, uses the shared Asia/Tokyo identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Yokohama's. Against Yokohama, Ōta follows Ota-ku → Tokyo → Japan in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Japan cohort, uses the shared Asia/Tokyo identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Yokohama's. Against Yokohama, Tokyo follows Tokyo → Japan in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Japan cohort, uses the shared Asia/Tokyo identifier, and carries capital of a political entity rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Yokohama's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 167 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Yokohama's nearest-coordinate gap falls between the tightest tenth and quarter 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 1848354, the coordinate pair 35.4333 / 139.6500, country rank 2 of 34, and neighbor GeoNames 1859642 at 11.451 km bind Yokohama 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

Yokohama's reference point is 35.4333° north and 139.6500° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Tokyo is shared by 34 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Yokohama's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Yokohama's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Yokohama's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Yokohama, 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.
