Neighborhood Boundaries

Residential neighborhoods are geographical areas considered to have similarities in their demographics and housing. Other factors influencing the definition of neighborhoods include local government planning, law enforcement, and transportation. Their use is not consistent across counties. Up to four levels of a neighborhood can be defined (Macro Neighborhood, Neighborhood, Sub-Neighborhood, and Residential Subdivision). These levels can be identified by the geography type key assigned.

Level 1: Macro Neighborhoods

Macro-Neighborhoods are the largest neighborhood type by size and depict regions, major sections of a city, or large master-planned communities

Plat Map

Residential Subdivisions (Tracts) may have a separate Plat Map defining the area covered by the subdivision.

They are used by developers when a larger tract is being subdivided, or when existing properties are being merged into a single property.
