Neighborhood Group Organizations
The City’s Neighborhood Organizations are groups formed by residents, business and property owners who meet regularly and advocate for or organize activities within a neighborhood. These organizations are an important part of the fabric of the City and play a key role in the ongoing effort to make San Francisco a great place for everyone.
How are the Neighborhood Boundaries Determined?
San Francisco neighborhoods are a product of history, geography, and culture and have no official boundaries. However, the Planning Department established 37 distinct neighborhoods in order to implement neighborhood notification requirements that were adopted by the Board of Supervisors in the 1990s. The boundaries of these neighborhoods may not conform to neighborhoods and boundaries defined by other sources.
