most people know this - but just for the record Boston is made up of a bunch of neighborhoods. Everyone pays the same taxes, gets the same services, etc - in theory. The police stations are somewhat neighborhood based. I think that some of the City Councilors and maybe some of the School Commitee members are neighborhood based. But everything else is pretty much "citywide" in scope.
The neighborhoods - from kinda north to south East Boston - Logan Airport - Orient heights - jeffrey point? - mostly row houses ? Charlestown - Sullivan Square - mostly row houses North End - old Italian area - mostly ?5 story residential blds Downtown - business district - highrises - Beacon Hill has State House and expensive row homes Back Bay - reisdential and commercial - 5 story brownstones - some highrises South End - residential and some institutional - row houses South Boston - mostly wood frame homes - ? 3 deckers ? - Seaport District is newer renovation area with highrise hotels and convention center etc Roxbury - mostly residential - 2.5 wood frames and 3 deckers Mission Hill - hospitals and residential Brighton / Allston - mostly residential - 2.5 wood frames and 3 deckers Dorchester - mostly 3 deckers and 2.5 wood frames Mattapan - same Jamaica Plain - same Roslindale - same plus single family homes West Roxbury - same Hyde Park - same Readville - same Racial breakdown - Black is Mattapan and Roxbury Hispanic is East Boston and ?
