Neighborhood Map Atlas neighborhoods are derived from the Seattle City Clerk's Office Geographic Indexing Atlas. These are the smallest neighborhood areas and have been supplemented with alternate names from other sources in 2020. They roll up to the district areas. The sub-neighborhood field contains the most common name and the alternate name field is a comma delimited list of all the alternate names.The original atlas is designed for subject indexing of legislation, photographs, and other documents and is an unofficial delineation of neighborhood boundaries used by the City Clerks Office. Sources for this atlas and the neighborhood names used in it include a 1980 neighborhood map produced by the Department of Community Development, Seattle Public Library indexes, a 1984-1986 Neighborhood Profiles feature series in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, numerous parks, land use and transportation planning studies, and records in the Seattle Municipal Archives. Many of the neighborhood names are traditional names whose meaning has changed over the years, and others derive from subdivision names or elementary school attendance areas.Disclaimer: The Seattle City Clerk's Office Geographic Indexing Atlas is designed for subject indexing of legislation, photographs, and other records in the City Clerk's Office and Seattle Municipal Archives according to geographic area. Neighborhoods are named and delineated in this collection of maps in order to provide consistency in the way geographic names are used in describing records of the Archives and City Clerk, thus allowing precise retrieval of records. The neighborhood names and boundaries are not intended to represent any "official" City of Seattle neighborhood map. The Office of the City Clerk makes no claims as to the completeness, accuracy, or content of any data contained in the Geographic Indexing Atlas; nor does it make any representation of any kind, including, but not limited to, warranty of the accuracy or fitness for a particular use; nor are any such warranties to be implied or inferred with respect to the representations furnished herein. The maps are subject to change for administrative purposes of the Office of the City Clerk. Information contained in the site, if used for any purpose other than as an indexing and search aid for the databases of the Office of the City Clerk, is being used at one's own risk.

City of Seattle neighborhood boundaries with American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year series data of frequently requested topics. Data is pulled from block group tables for the most recent ACS vintage and summarized to the neighborhoods based on block group assignment. Seattle neighborhood geography of Council Districts, Comprehensive Plan Growth Areas are included.The census block groups have been assigned to a neighborhood based on the distribution of the total population from the 2020 decennial census for the component census blocks. If the majority of the population in the block group were inside the boundaries of the neighborhood, the block group was assigned wholly to that neighborhood.Feature layer created for and used in the Neighborhood Profiles application.The attribute data associated with this map is updated annually to contain the most currently released American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year data and contains estimates and margins of error.

The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.Data Processing Notes:Boundaries come from the US Census TIGER geodatabases, specifically, the National Sub-State Geography Database (named tlgdb_(year)_a_us_substategeo.gdb). Boundaries are updated at the same time as the data updates (annually), and the boundary vintage appropriately matches the data vintage as specified by the Census. These are Census boundaries with water and/or coastlines erased for cartographic and mapping purposes.

Note: This map is not an official zoning map. For precise zoning information, please call or visit the Seattle Municipal Tower, Seattle Department of Construction and InspectionsFor properties subject to Mandatory Housing Affordability, the fee areas map specifies the locational dimension of the MHA requirement. Mandatory Housing Affordability requires new development to contribute to affordable housing by including affordable housing in the development or making a payment to the City’s Office of Housing to support affordable housing. The amount of the MHA contribution varies based on a property’s _location and other factors specified in Seattle Municipal Code Chapters 23.58B and 23.58C. For properties subject to MHA, the fee areas map specifies the locational dimension of the MHA requirement. MHA amounts in Downtown and South Lake Union have specific requirement levels for each zone as listed in SMC 23.58B and 23.58C. For other areas, the relative high, medium or low aspect of the MHA requirement corresponds to market strength area of the city.

This data layer references data from a high-resolution tree canopy change-detection layer for Seattle, Washington. Tree canopy change was mapped by using remotely sensed data from two time periods (2016 and 2021). Tree canopy was assigned to three classes: 1) no change, 2) gain, and 3) loss. No change represents tree canopy that remained the same from one time period to the next. Gain represents tree canopy that increased or was newly added, from one time period to the next. Loss represents the tree canopy that was removed from one time period to the next. Mapping was carried out using an approach that integrated automated feature extraction with manual edits. Care was taken to ensure that changes to the tree canopy were due to actual change in the land cover as opposed to differences in the remotely sensed data stemming from lighting conditions or image parallax. Direct comparison was possible because land-cover maps from both time periods were created using object-based image analysis (OBIA) and included similar source datasets (LiDAR-derived surface models, multispectral imagery, and thematic GIS inputs). OBIA systems work by grouping pixels into meaningful objects based on their spectral and spatial properties, while taking into account boundaries imposed by existing vector datasets. Within the OBIA environment a rule-based expert system was designed to effectively mimic the process of manual image analysis by incorporating the elements of image interpretation (color/tone, texture, pattern, _location, size, and shape) into the classification process. A series of morphological procedures were employed to ensure that the end product is both accurate and cartographically pleasing. No accuracy assessment was conducted, but the dataset was subjected to manual review and correction.University of Vermont Spatial Analysis LaboratoryThis dataset consists of City of Seattle Council District areas as they existed in the first comparison year (2016) which cover the following tree canopy categories:Existing tree canopy percentPossible tree canopy - vegetation percentRelative percent changeAbsolute percent changeFor more information, please see the 2021 Tree Canopy Assessment.

An application (https://maps.seattle.gov/ACS-Neighborhood-Profiles) that presents U.S. Census Bureau 5-year American Community Survey data for census tracts in King County, Washington. Presented in a dashboard format with selectors for different time periods and levels of geographies, these snapshots are a curated set of data grouped into 12 topical profiles. Data is pulled from the demographic profiles DP02-DP05 and several supplemental tables for multiple nonoverlapping vintages starting in 2006-2010 and shown by the corresponding census tract vintage. Also includes the most recent release annually (usually released in December for the previous year) with the vintage identified in the "ACS Vintage" field. Use caution when looking at the most recent year as some data in the sample are the same as in the five-year period just prior.Data is presented in charts and graphs for pre-defined geographies as well as custom selection of census tracts either from a list or by selecting tracts on the map (shift-click to select multiple tracts). The census tract boundaries match the vintage of the ACS data (currently 2010 and 2020) so please note the geographic changes between the decades. Charts allow downloading of the summarized data shown in the chart.The City of Seattle geography does not include the small portions of tracts 263, 264, 265, so city totals will vary slightly from published Census Bureau numbers.Tracts have been coded as being within the City of Seattle as well as assigned to neighborhood groups called "Community Reporting Areas". These areas were created after the 2000 census to provide geographically consistent neighborhoods through time for reporting U.S. Census Bureau data. This is not an attempt to identify neighborhood boundaries as defined by neighborhoods themselves. Get all the data for these profiles from SeattleGeoData. The full range of data products from the U.S. Census Bureau can be found by visiting the online data portal Explore Census Data.Interested in mapping the ACS? Check out this gallery for mapping apps and other census related dashboards.Important notes: ACS estimates are based on a survey mailed to a small percentage of houeholds and may carry substantial margins of error for small geographic areas or population groups. The margin of error (MOE) is an indicator of the reliability of the ACS estimate.
