Common questions about New York City districts
What district am I in?
Enter your address or ZIP code in the search box, or click your location on the map above, and the tool lists every district that contains that exact point — your City Council district, community district and board, NYPD precinct and sector, school district and zoned schools, New York State Senate and Assembly districts, U.S. House district, and more — along with who represents you in each one.
How do I find out what City Council district I'm in?
Search your address or click your location on the map. The tool shows your Council district and the Council Member who holds the seat, refreshed weekly from the Council's own directory.
How many City Council districts does New York City have?
Fifty-one. Each elects one Council Member, and the app carries all 51 seats.
What is a community district or community board?
A community district is a local planning area; each has a community board that advises on land use, budget priorities and services in it. Pick a point to see which community district covers it and how to reach its board.
What NYPD precinct am I in?
Select any address above to see the precinct that covers it. The app carries all 78 precincts and names each precinct's commanding officer where the NYPD publishes one — where it does not, the card says so rather than guessing.
Which school district am I in?
Pick your address to see the New York City school district that covers it. Community Education Council members are not currently listed: no roster the app can verify is published in a form it reads, so the card links the council rather than naming people it cannot check.
Who represents me in Albany and in Congress?
Pick a location to see your New York State Senate district, State Assembly district and U.S. House district, each with the member who currently holds the seat. The app carries all 63 Senate and 150 Assembly districts statewide.
Who is my borough president and district attorney?
Both are borough-wide offices. Select a point and the app names the borough it falls in, its Borough President, and the District Attorney whose office covers it.
Is this an official government tool?
No. It draws on public data sources that disclaim legal precision, so always confirm district assignments and officeholders with the relevant government office before relying on them for anything official.
Not for legal or official use. These answers describe what the map shows and where it gets it. Boundary and roster data come from public sources that disclaim legal precision — confirm anything official with the relevant government office.
