What is a Neighborhood?
From:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighbourhood
A neighbourhood (Commonwealth English), or neighborhood (American English), is a geographically localized community within a larger city, town, suburb or rural area. Neighbourhoods are often social communities with considerable face-to-face interaction among members. Researchers have not agreed on an exact definition, but the following may serve as a starting point: "…Neighborhood is generally defined spatially as a specific geographic area and functionally as a set of social networks. Neighborhoods, then, are the spatial units in which face-to-face social interactions occur—the personal settings and situations where residents seek to realize common values, socialize youth, and maintain effective social control."
How does a Neighborhood relate to the Tygron Engine?
Neighborhoods in the Tygron Engine are mutual exclusive spatial areas that divide a city/ village. These areas do not overlap and are, when available, based on real (historical) data.
