01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Yunfu—2,612,800, 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.
Wikidata's localized description: prefecture-level city in Guangdong, China.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Yunfu is GeoNames ID 1785725. Its recorded administrative path is Yunfu Shi → Guangdong → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Yunfu 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 2022-02-17; 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, Yunfu ranks 149 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 53; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 95. Its 2,612,800 population value is 2.24 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 2.59 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Yunfu falls between the leading tenth and quarter of this atlas's China population cohort. Yunfu'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.
Yunfu's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Zhaoqing at 45.327 km with 1,553,109 recorded people; Changsha (Guangdong) at 90 km with 688,242 recorded people; Wuzhou at 98.212 km with 761,948 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 52.885 km. Compared with Zhaoqing, Yunfu's recorded population is 1.68 times as large. Against Yunfu, Zhaoqing follows Zhaoqing Shi → Guangdong → 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 the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Yunfu's. Against Yunfu, Changsha (Guangdong) follows Jiangmen 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 third-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Yunfu's. Against Yunfu, Wuzhou follows Wuzhou 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 the same second-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Yunfu's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 395 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Yunfu'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 1785725, the coordinate pair 22.9279 / 112.0381, country rank 53 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1784853 at 45.327 km bind Yunfu to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Yunfu's reference point is 22.9279° north and 112.0381° 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. Yunfu's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Yunfu's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Yunfu's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Yunfu, 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.
