Hey, Baltimore. While you're rushing (but hopefully not too anxiously) to meet your own deadlines ahead of October, consider adding another — courtesy of the city's Department of Planning — to your to-do list.
According to an emailed announcement, the department is accepting feedback on possible changes to its
map of neighborhood statistical areas (NSAs) until Friday. The maps are adjusted every decade, following the decennial census, to track and report demographic and related data for the city.
While the boundaries are kept consistent to track changes over time, the department does accept proposals for a limited set of changes. Changes can include modifications to NSA names, combinations or splitting of two existing NSAs (the latter of which is only possible if each new residential NSA has a population of at least 200) and select boundary adjustments if the NSA has become more, or less, residential during the past 10 years.
What changes would you propose to the current NSAs, if any? Do any of those changes reflect changing commercial activity — especially entrepreneurial or tech-related activity — in the city?
Before you let the city know, feel free to share your thoughts by responding to this email or sending another to
baltimore@technical.ly.
