District geometry: NYC Department of City Planning (DCP), Community Districts
Water Included. Downloaded October 6, 2026. The source includes all 59 community
districts and 12 joint-interest park and airport areas. Neighborhood labels
describe the community districts; they are not separate official neighborhood
boundaries. The water portions are retained, including harbor islands.
