New York City is divided into 5 “boroughs”: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten Island.
Each “borough” is divided into districts: 12 for Manhattan.
Finally, each district is itself divided into neighborhoods which you can see on the map.
The districts present a certain disparity and it is always interesting to compare them. The figures are available on the Official site of the city.
