Neighborhoods in New Orleans

The city planning commission for New Orleans divided the city into 13 planning districts and 73[1] distinct neighborhoods in 1980. Although initially in the study 68 neighborhoods were designated, and later increased by the City Planning Commission to 76 in October 2001 based in census data,[2] most planners, neighborhood associations, researchers, and journalists have since widely adopted the 73 as the number and can even trace the number back to the early 1900s.[1] While most of these assigned boundaries match with traditional local designations, some others differ from common traditional use. This is a result of the city planning commission's wish to divide the city into sections for governmental planning and zoning purposes without crossing United States census tract boundaries. While most of the listed names have been in common use by New Orleanians for generations, some designated names are rarely heard outside the planning commission's usage.

Other divisions and designations

There are a number of traditional and historic divisions of New Orleans which may still be commonly heard of in conversation, but which do not correspond with New Orleans City Planning Commission designations.

The 19th-century division of the city along the axis of Canal Street into downtown and uptown is a prime example. Various areas of the modern city which were separate towns in the past, such as Algiers and Carrollton, continue to be spoken of – but now as neighborhoods. The large area to the east of the Industrial Canal and north of the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet Canal, little developed until the last third of the 20th century, is often referred to as Eastern New Orleans (or "New Orleans East", although that term usually refers to a smaller subset of the area).

Another example is the use of the Wards as means of neighborhood identification for the city's residents. Originally created in 1805 with only 7 wards designated, there now are 17 in total.[15] Socially among locals the wards are divided by the ones located "uptown" and the ones located "downtown". Later in the 1980's there was a rise in the use of them as cultural identifiers with the emergence of bounce music and the recognition of the different dialects within them.[16]
