Commission Meetings

Introduction

These Statements of Community District Needs, prepared by New York City's community boards, provide a context for development and assessment of their budget priorities. Pursuant to Sections 230 and 231 of the City Charter, community boards submit annual expense and capital budget priorities which must be considered by city agencies in the preparation of their departmental budget estimates.

Material preceding each statement, supplied by the Department of City Planning, summarizes district demographic and land use characteristics. The district profiles include:

• Population counts from the 1980, 1990, and 2000 censuses.
• Resident births and deaths within New York City, 2000 and 2005, from data prepared by the New York City Department of Health;
• 2000 and 2007 income support levels -- Public Assistance, Supplemental Security Income and Medicaid-Only (excluding nursing home cases) -- provided by the New York City Human Resources Administration from their Medicaid Eligibility File;
• Total land area from the Department of City Planning's LION street and District base map files.  The numbers presented for land area may differ from those shown in previous years.  This does not reflect an actual change in the land area of community districts or boroughs; it results from a standardization of the calculation of area from the DCP District files; and
• Land use in 2006, from the city’s Real Property File, providing the number of tax lots, lot area and percentage of total lot area in each land use category.

This edition of Community District Needs features educational resources.  Based on New York State Department of Education data, maps of each community district show the location of public and private schools (including charter schools), from kindergarten through college, and the boundaries of community school districts.  The maps are keyed to lists of schools with addresses and enrollments as of October 2006.  This edition continues to include borough maps of City Council districts and computer-generated base maps of community districts, as well as summary 2000 census data for the community districts, boroughs and the city. Each district profile also contains a listing of line-item projects funded in the Fiscal Year 2008 Capital Budget.
