What Makes a Neighbourhood? "Neighbourhood" is a term used to refer to a part or a quarter in a city. In a big city, there may be several or more neighbourhoods. But how come a part of a city is regarded as a neighbourhood? An area is regarded as a neighbourhood not merely because buildings cluster in it. There are more important reasons. That is, people living within a neighbourhood are often similar in many social features such as household income, profession and occupation, educational background, and others. That's why there are terms like middle-class neighbourhood, lower-class neighbourhood, and upper-class neighbourhood, industrial neighbourhood, etc.householdoccupation In the United States, neighbourhood is more like an indication of racial, ethnic and class division. Here is a table which shows the result of a 1994 neighbourhood survey in an American city (quoted from Keller-Olaman (2004)):survey
