Key updates include the following:<\/p>\n
One of the most significant enhancements in this release is the addition of three new geography levels designed to provide more flexible and meaningful ways to analyze communities and regions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Neighborhood geography is now available for the United States.<\/p>\n
Neighborhoods data helps users explore areas using familiar place-names and local context rather than relying solely on larger administrative boundaries.<\/p>\n
For example: <\/strong>Instead of analyzing Lower Manhattan as a whole, users can explore distinct neighborhoods such as SoHo, Tribeca, and Greenwich Village.<\/p>\n Neighborhoods data provides a more intuitive way to understand local market characteristics, community identity, and consumer behavior.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2973484,"id":2973484,"title":"bawa_neighborhoods[22]","filename":"bawa_neighborhoods22.png","filesize":878319,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bawa_neighborhoods22.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/esri-demographics\/analytics\/esri-demographics-whats-new-june-2026\/bawa_neighborhoods22","alt":"Esri Demographics, neighborhood boundaries, new data","author":"292382","description":"Esri Demographics, neighborhood boundaries, new data","caption":"New Neighborhoods data in ArcGIS Business Analyst web app ","name":"bawa_neighborhoods22","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2962910,"date":"2026-06-26 13:04:04","modified":"2026-06-26 14:22:13","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1361,"height":804,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bawa_neighborhoods22-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bawa_neighborhoods22.png","medium-width":442,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bawa_neighborhoods22.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":454,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bawa_neighborhoods22.png","large-width":1361,"large-height":804,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bawa_neighborhoods22.png","1536x1536-width":1361,"1536x1536-height":804,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bawa_neighborhoods22.png","2048x2048-width":1361,"2048x2048-height":804,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bawa_neighborhoods22-787x465.png","card_image-width":787,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bawa_neighborhoods22.png","wide_image-width":1361,"wide_image-height":804}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" ZCTAs are now available for the United States and Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n Because ZCTAs remain stable throughout the Census cycle (as opposed to ZIP codes), they provide a consistent geography for comparing locations over time and supporting ZIP-level analysis, reporting, and market comparisons.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n CSAs are now available for the United States and Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n These geographies help users analyze broader regional relationships by combining interconnected metropolitan and micropolitan areas.
