What Council district am I in?

New York City has 51 City Council districts, each represented by a Council Member. Your Council district is not your community district, your borough, or your ZIP code — it is its own boundary, and the one that decides who votes on the city budget and land use on your block.

What the lookup shows

Council district vs. community district

They are different systems and they rarely line up. A Council district elects a member of the City Council. A community district is served by an appointed community board that advises on land use, the budget, and local services. One address sits in exactly one of each, and the map shows both at once when you toggle both layers.

Where the boundaries come from

District boundaries and the member roster come from the city's own published data; the map names no officeholder it cannot cite. It is free, requires no login, and sets no tracking cookies.

Who represents each Council district

All 51 seats on the New York City Council, as this site had them on September 11, 2026. The map above reads the same roster, so a card and this table cannot disagree — but a table is a claim about a day, and this one names its day. Where the roster names nobody it says so rather than guessing. Where these names come from.
