01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Zhuzhou—1,129,687, 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 Hunan, China.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Zhuzhou is GeoNames ID 1783763. Its recorded administrative path is Zhuzhou Shi → Hunan → China, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Zhuzhou 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 2026-06-01; 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, Zhuzhou ranks 479 by recorded population. Inside the 296 selected China entries it ranks 153; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 279. Its 1,129,687 population value is 0.97 times the 1,165,375 median for the country cohort and 1.12 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Zhuzhou sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected China entries. Zhuzhou'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.
Zhuzhou's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Xiangtan at 24.651 km with 959,303 recorded people; Changsha (Hunan) at 44.273 km with 3,093,980 recorded people; Guankou at 59.181 km with 1,380,000 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 34.53 km. Compared with Xiangtan, Zhuzhou's recorded population is 1.18 times as large. Against Zhuzhou, Xiangtan follows Xiangtan Shi → Hunan → 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 Zhuzhou's. Against Zhuzhou, Changsha (Hunan) follows Changsha Shi → Hunan → 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 first-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Zhuzhou's. Against Zhuzhou, Guankou follows Changsha Shi → Hunan → 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 third-order administrative seat rather than second-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Zhuzhou's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 294 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Zhuzhou'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 1783763, the coordinate pair 27.8333 / 113.1500, country rank 153 of 296, and neighbor GeoNames 1790492 at 24.651 km bind Zhuzhou to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Zhuzhou's reference point is 27.8333° north and 113.1500° 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. Zhuzhou's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Zhuzhou's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Zhuzhou's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Zhuzhou, 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.
