What the data says — and does not say

This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Yulin—1,056,743, 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.

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Yulin is GeoNames ID 1785781. Its recorded administrative path is Yulin Shi → Guangxi → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a third-order administrative seat. Yulin 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 2021-10-14; 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, Yulin ranks 507 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 161; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 296. Its 1,056,743 population value is 0.91 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.05 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Yulin sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected China entries. Yulin'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.

Nearest-reference pattern

Yulin's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Guigang at 78.196 km with 1,086,327 recorded people; Maoming at 133.162 km with 1,307,802 recorded people; Wuzhou at 150.255 km with 761,948 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 72.059 km. Compared with Guigang, Yulin's recorded population is 0.97 times as large. Against Yulin, Guigang follows Guigang Shi → Guangxi → 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 second-order administrative seat rather than third-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Yulin's. Against Yulin, Maoming follows Maoming Shi → Guangdong → China in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected China cohort, uses the shared Asia/Shanghai identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than third-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Yulin's. Against Yulin, Wuzhou follows Wuzhou Shi → Guangxi → 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 second-order administrative seat rather than third-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Yulin's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 608 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Yulin'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 1785781, the coordinate pair 22.6305 / 110.1469, country rank 161 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1809532 at 78.196 km bind Yulin 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

Yulin's reference point is 22.6305° north and 110.1469° 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. Yulin's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Yulin's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Yulin's place-class field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its time zone is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Yulin, 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.
