What is a neighborhood?
“A neighborhood is a geographic location approximately ¼-½
square mile in size containing 500-2000 residents, with major
geographic boundaries such as roads, streams, railroads or non-
residential areas that contain a combination of similar housing
types, retail services and community gathering space (parks) within
½ mile walking distance.”
