Neighborhood Boundaries

The Times neighborhood boundaries are available for use under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike license. That means you can share and remix them for non-commercial work as long as you credit the Times and release your creations under the same terms.

Below you can find links to boundaries for all of our neighborhoods in KML format and in WGS 84 projection.

The files are easily portable to other online mapping systems. For instance, here is a Google Map of the Times' definition of Hollywood.

They're published using a simple URL scheme that we hope to expand with greater data offerings in the future.

If there are any changes we can make to better provide you with the data we publish, please contact the Data Desk with ideas, suggestions or criticisms.
