Where to get more information


2010: 50% of worldwide population live in metro areas

Expected to grow to 70% by 2050 (7.3 billion people)

Neighborhoods are:

The most common way people identify areas within metros

Defined locally by the people who live in them over time

Equated with important cultural and social attributes

Strongly tied to residents’ identity (ask 10 people where they live)

Neighborhood = Hyper-local context

For local geography, neighborhoods are common denominator

No good substitutes

• ZIP Code/Census boundaries are not socially/culturally relevant
