Neighborhoods
For local search, real estate, social, mobile and SEO professionals, neighborhoods matter. They reflect how people think about space and are far more intuitive than ZIPs. Our data can be delivered through our API or in a format of your choosing. Check out our coverage. See how customers have implemented our data. Get sample neighborhood data to evaluate.
Why neighborhoods?
The ZIP code was created for administrative purposes. These boundaries were established for efficient mail delivery and are therefore impractical at defining regions.
The concept of the neighborhood evolved through human perception, and hence neighborhoods are defined in a way that is consistent with the way people view urban space. Therefore, presenting location based information through the context of neighborhoods is a much more usable way to communicate information concerning urban geography.
