Official Seattle Community Reporting Area boundary, simplified for display. Population and housing estimates use the publisher’s whole-block-group assignment approximation. This is distinct from the informal Neighborhood Map Atlas and is not a school attendance zone. Use two fingers to move the map on touch screens.

Publisher terms ↗

How this area is measuredPublisher estimates for Community Reporting Areas. Seattle assigns each whole Census block group to an area using its majority 2020 population. These are approximate reporting-area estimates, not exact counts inside every polygon or figures for the informal Neighborhood Map Atlas areas. The published aggregate table does not supply margins of error.

Sources and calculation method

The City of Seattle publishes these 2020–2024 ACS counts with its own Community Reporting Area polygons. The City assigns whole Census block groups based on majority 2020 Census population; this is an approximation to the mapped boundary. BrytaLocals preserves the published counts and divides by the corresponding published total to calculate shares. Age groups use all residents; housing tenure uses occupied households, not people or all housing units. No medians are averaged and no figures are transferred to the separate informal atlas polygons. Aggregate margins of error are not exposed by this source table and remain unavailable; they are never set to zero.
