However, The NYC Department of City Planning provides individual Community District Profiles that includes the names of neighborhoods that are included in Community Districts. You can see the profiles page at: https://communityprofiles.planning.nyc.gov/

Total population, 2010
This is the total population of the NYC Community Districtas reflected in the 2010 Census plus the imprisoned population.
