Neighborhood Tabulation Areas (formerly "Neighborhood Projection Areas") - Release 12A is now available - free download

Thu, 10 May 2012 16:21:28 EDT

Release 12A is now available. Neighborhood Tabulation Areas (NTAs) were created by City Planning using whole census tracts from the 2010 Census as building blocks. These aggregations of census tracts are subsets of New York City's 55 Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMAs). NTAs are a valuable summary level for use with both the 2010 Census and the American Community Survey (ACS). Regarding the decennial census, these geographic areas offer a good compromise between the very detailed data for census tracts and the broad strokes provided by community districts (59). For the ACS, NTAs offer a statistically reliable alternative to the high sampling error that renders data for most individual census tracts unusable. Users are cautioned that because NTAs are tract aggregations that are subsets of PUMAs, boundaries and their associated names may not definitively represent neighborhoods.
