The Department
of City Planning has recently added an excellent set of maps of each
of the city's 59 community districts. These maps include land use
information as well as a demographic summary of the area. To view
these community district
maps click here. Once you've found your community district, check
out the district
profile, including demographic and zoning data and maps -- a great
tool from city planning!
You can
also find your community district using the community board index.
A great
new report released by the Center
for Real Estate and Urban Policy at NYU Law School, entitled State
of New York City's Housing and Neighborhoods has excellent housing
and demographic data and maps broken down by Community District as
well as Sub-borough Area. The entire report is available for download
but the file is enormous (19mb!), so if you don't have a high
speed connection, be prepared to wait a while. Click
here to download the report in .pdf format or click
here to contact the center to order a hard copy. The data from
the report will soon be available in an online interactive format,
so stay tuned!
