# explorer.boundary_demographics
Population, households and ACS demographics for super neighborhoods, council districts, ZIPs, police beats and districts (492 rows; category: Boundaries & demographics; geometry column `geom` (geometry, EPSG:4326))
Notes: The go-to denominator table: join counts to it by (boundary_type, name) and divide by population/1000 or households. Values are interpolated from census tracts by land area, so treat them as estimates. pct_* are fractions 0-1 (multiply by 100 for percent).
