Here’s A Handy Map We Made That Define the Lines That Separate Our Various Hoods


There seems to be constant and consistent confusion about where neighborhood borders actually begin and end in the Riverwards. It tends to happen when major local TV news affiliates report on crime scenes, often when shootings in Kensington are reported as having occurred in Port Richmond. You can see an example of this here.

When reports like this come out, frustration is vented on social media. We get it and we see all of the Facebook comments.

To show you all how we define our coverage area, here is an interactive map we’ve created based on the borders of local civic associations and little website called Wikipedia. When we report or aggregate a news story, this is map we use to define the neighborhood it occurred in.

Feel like something’s off? We’d love to hear your opinion so drop us a line at info@spiritnews.org.
