What each Hamilton neighbourhood is zoned for

Every zone polygon in the City of Hamilton’s zoning layers carries a code; its by-law’s zone list puts the code in a group. HamiltonIQ measures each polygon from its outline and assigns it to the neighbourhood whose outline contains a point inside it, so a polygon that straddles a line is counted once. Shares are a group’s hectares over the neighbourhood’s zoned hectares. Where the layer draws one polygon over another, both are counted.

Left out: polygons outside every neighbourhood outline, and roads, which the layers do not zone. The groups are the by-laws’ own headings, not land-use categories: an employment zone can hold offices or a warehouse. The zone pages say what each code is and where it applies; the City of Hamilton is the only binding source on one property.
