In an effort to understand the needs of Kingston communities, improve planning and deliver services as effectively as possible, the City has defined 43 distinct "neighbourhoods" based on areas of common social, physical and political attributes.
Unlike the City's 12 electoral districts, these neighbourhoods are fundamentally based on "census dissemination areas," which are the smallest units (one or more neighbouring blocks with populations of 400 to 700 persons) defined by Statistics Canada. The City has grouped five to seven of these "dissemination areas" in most neighbourhoods using a number of criteria, of which current electoral boundaries are just one.
Where possible, the names for the neighbourhoods were based on commonly used names for areas of the City. Planners realize that there may be differences of opinion on these names and the boundaries, so have recommended that these issues be subject to public review and comment.
