Geographic Mismatch Error: Greenpoint
Neighborhood Geography vs. Census Geography
The map below shows how Census geographies correspond to Greenpoint boundaries in New York City. Neighborhood boundaries are shown with a solid black outline. The selected Census geography is shown with solid gray outlines; use the layer control to switch between Census tracts and the block-group/tract hybrid. In this case, Greenpoint has no geographic mismatch error: census tracts and block groups perfectly align with neighborhood boundaries.

Neighborhood boundary
Tract boundary
Note: part of Greenpoint’s boundary extends into open water beyond the mapped Census tract/block-group geography (e.g., a lake, river, or coastline). That area has no population, so it has no effect on the figures on this page, but it can make the boundary line appear to run past the census outlines on the map above.
